Winning Trainer: Ben, Will & JD Hayes (Will speaking)
"We went through all our processes that we do with every horse in the stable and we had her dual nominated (for last) Thursday. We kept a close eye on her, and with guidance, we were told that this race looked very suitable and that's exactly how it panned out today.
"I just love the way that she was out the back and found the rhythm; she's so progressive, what she did in her first up to absorb what was a fall in the race and still come out and win is something that good horses do, so for her to come out and win a group two in her second start makes her very valuable and a terrific result for the ownership group."
Thousand Guineas: "Definitely, we'll be guided by how she pulls up, but that's the logical line and length, and I think with the way that she won today you'd be thinking why not."
Winning Jockey: M Dee
"I actually wanted to be closer in the run and she didn't jump the best and there was a lot more pressure really than I thought and I just had to take our medicine and she relaxed beautifully.
"I was lucky enough that Cavity Bay was able to take us into the race and I thought she won with a bit in hand because she's still very new and she's really just doing that on raw ability.
Didn't ride last start at Ballarat: "Actually, that day I was meant to ride her and I was sick the morning of and couldn't ride her.
"Probably lucky enough that Harry Coffey is suspended at the moment so lucky to get back on her and
"She won very convincingly at Ballarat. Can only take an improvement from there.
"Definitely autumn will be better for her. She is going well now so you've got to keep going, Whatever she does now, she's going to be better in six months' time."
