Winning Trainer: Peter Snowden
On the win: "Good effort, didn't surprise me, she's always shown a fair bit of ability and her work has been great and I'm so glad for Jordan, he gave up a full book of rides to come up here and ride her today."
"The good ones always run well, no matter the conditions, what barrier they draw, they always run well and she did that today.
On the ownership group: "He's been very good to me John and I'm so happy he's got a very nice filly on his hands."
On the filly: "She's only lightly raced and is still untapped, she's got plenty of potential."
On where to next: "The James HB Carr looks like the logical stepping stone out to 1400m in two weeks time."
Winning Jockey: Jordan Childs
On the win: "She remains unbeaten and today was another step up again and she really delivered.
On the run: "The race worked out okay, I wanted to be a little bit closer in the run, but she just stepped a little bit slow with the blinkers on for the first time. I had to go to Plan B, but she travelled up nicely in the running line and once I let her go, she showed a great turn of foot.
"Just peaked on her run the last little bit, obviously first up today she'll take great improvement from the run and great to get a winner for Peter Snowden and John Camilleri, he's been a great supporter of mine."
Beaten Jockeys:
Craig Williams (Inkaruna): "Uncharacteristically disappointing today. Just didn't step and even though she was in the inferior ground, she was plain disappointing."
Adam Hyeronimus (Stardom): "Wasn't a great set up for her in such a big field. Will be better for run."
Tim Clark (Bellazaine): "Nice improved performance from her."
Zac Lloyd (Agarwood): "Disappointing. I think she would have gone close."
Zac Purton (Kujenga): "Travelled like the winner. When the run presented she gave nothing."
Jason Collett (Cantiamo): "Was in the right spot. Just a touch aggressive."
Tommy Berry (Horseshoe Hill): "She got hampered at the start and over-raced after that."
Damian Lane (Beside The Ocean): "She ran well. Had to concede ground from the draw."
Regan Bayliss (Tomato Toastie): Provided no comment
Dylan Gibbons (Wootton Lass): "Incredible effort. Lost the back end at the top of the straight and ran as well as she could."
James McDonald (Ernaux): "Just back in trip will suit her."
Rachel King (Brave Xena): "I think she will learn a lot from today. Good effort."
Alysha Collett (Jaegers): "Rocketed out of the barriers. Got into a beautiful spot. Just lacked the finish on that track."
Tom Sherry (Nepo Baby): "Lovely filly. Got beaten by a really good horse today."
Kerrin McEvoy (Penpel): "Further back than what we wanted. I thought she ran well."
Andrew Adkins (Bird Whistle): "Great effort from her. Wanted to go a bit fierce. Might have to tinker with some gear. In for a nice prep."
