Winning Trainer: Archie Alexander

"I held my hands up and thought 'well, she's run a super race but we'll run second today'. She's got that determination, got her head in front and the race went as we planned.

"I had a chat to Damian this morning and it happened exactly. Today was good but now we can look at how long she will race and she's never let us down."

Next: "She is making our life very easy. She keeps presenting well and loves racing. We'll freshen her up and focus on Adelaide in the autumn.

"She doesn't like it very wet and we'll keep an eye on that. We'll go to Adelaide. She's won a midweek and now she's won a Saturday race. She's by a group one winner.

"We're looking at the 1500m City Of Adelaide which is her sweet spot and then there's mile options after that."

Winning Jockey: Damian Lane

"She's been in great form. Archie has had her going so consistently. The race worked out well today.

"Well done to Archie and his team. He's had a nice winner on Guineas Day.

"She got really competitive when it mattered and wanted to win. That is a trait that will take horses a long way.

"She is probably best out to 1500 (metres). She has won at a mile and she was able to sustain her gallop today over the 1400 which really helped us out at the end of the race as well."
