Winning Trainer: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott
Breeding: "Two darn fast, exactly. Of course she's by this amazing sire, Two Darn Hot, that's doing it both in north and south. And of course it was bought by Simon Marsh and Johnny McKee before, Andrew Lloyd Webber and his wife Madeline. It's so wonderful that they're supporting Australian racing. I m just thrilled."
Continues to improve: "She's just settled down more, as the longer she's been in Melbourne. We brought her here on Tuesday, and I just love the way she finished off her work. I didn't put a jockey on her, I just put the work rider on, who just gets on with her. She did everything right. I love it when they tick all the boxes going into a big race."
Thousand Guineas: "Oh, absolutely. That's what we're here for. I think she' s training very well. I think we could easily run over the Flemington carnival."
Winning Jockey: Tim Clark
Strong through the line: "Yeah, that's right, and just felt that a couple of her main dangers might have been, you know, a couple of them were up from 1200 to 14 and could have been a bit of a query at 7 (furlongs), so I made sure it was a true enough gallop and I knew that this filly had a good grounding, the team down here had done a really good job with her and she galloped strongly through the line."
On the horse: "She's a filly that's just continued to improve and as I said, they were really happy with how she'd come through her last run. She had a jump between, she's just been thriving so pretty confident she'd handle a bit of sting out of the ground so it was a good recipe and yeah she's done a great job."
