Winning Trainer: Mark Currie

On the ride: "It was a bit worrying, but Ange (Angela Jones) knew what she was doing, got her out at the right time and got her home."

On her last start: "She likes to get to the outside and last time she was running inside horses along the fence and didn't suit her that much. She came out of that good and raced good today."

Winning Jockey: Angela Jones

On the horse: "I love this little girl, I know her from back to front. She's so easy to ride once you do know her, but you need that understanding to get the best out of her."

"She can jump well and put herself into a spot which is such an asset. The only thing, she doesn't travel that well in around horses, so as soon as we had that one three deep outside the leader, she just dropped the bridle. I wasn't worried cause I knew as soon as she got a bit of clear air, she was just going to explode, and she did. With the light weight on her back today, I knew she had this field covered."
