Winning Trainer: Michael Freedman
On her win today: "She ran that out pretty solidly today. We thought after Kembla, based on her staying ability and talent that this was the logical option."
On Lee Freedman being in the ownership: "Brother Lee being one of the co-owners, he's been on the phone to me all week and provided me with some pieces of advice, which has been great."
"It's pretty special with him in the ownership, but also to be racing in our colours. He's not bad for 70 and we'll be back here in seven days' time."
Winning Jockey: Tommy Berry
On her in the run: "She always hits a little bit of a flat spot, she did that at Kembla as well and it's wasn't until the last 150m, where she picked herself up and got motoring."
On coming to today's race: "I just knew she would lap up the 2000m, she worked well on a wet track at home."
On the filly: "Everyone would have thought her trial was only plain the other today, but she didn't have her blinkers on and she never works any good without the blinkers either."
"We only really know what she's got on raceday. Great to do it with Lee as well, he's brought this filly up and has always had a great opinion of her."
"She was just immature last prep, but with a bit of Michael's polish as well, they've done well together."
Beaten Jockeys:
Nash Rawiller (Spicy Lu): "Doesn't appear to be doing her best on these rain affected tracks."
Craig Williams (Queen Of Clubs): "A little bit plain on face value today. She how she comes through the run."
James McDonald (Soverato): "Good run."
Tim Clark (Feminino): "Just may have come to the end of her first prep. Question marks at her at the end of 2000m."
Zac Purton (Burn The Sky): "Really disappointing. Jumped well and travelled good. Did nothing under pressure."
Damian Lane (Classic Gem): "She ran well. Honest."
Jason Collett (Transcend): "She raced quite strongly in the run. Just takes away from her finish."
Regan Bayliss (La Morra): "Really solid run. Hopefully she gets a run in the Oaks because she will stay the trip."
Luke Nolen (Washington Lilac): "End of program."
Tyler Schiller (Satono Invader): "She has run out of her skin. Put herself into a nice spot to run the trip. She probably just saw it out late. An almighty effort."
Dylan Gibbons (Listen Sweetheart): "Just wanted to see a little bit more from her today. I thought she was plain."
Zac Lloyd (So D'oro): "Hard from the front. She is just not strong enough to do that yet."
Kerrin McEvoy (Mountain Queen): "Just found them a little bit sharp over that trip."
Alysha Collett (Luna Bay): "Happy with her efforts today. She got a fair way back from that barrier but ran on OK."
Andrew Adkins (Shadow Of Light): "She tried hard. She was outgraded over the last furlong and a half."
