Winning Trainer: Matt Cumani (rep by Nikolas Plant)

“She’s really gone to a different level this time. She’s got a lot of ability. She did have that stakes performance early as a three-year-old but she’s really put it together this time in and she’s got the results on the racecourse as well.

“Kevin and Prue Riddell who own her are terrifically patient and it makes our job really easy in that we can place her where we want to. Stakes level is probably where she’s at so we’ll probably sneak her over the border and find some stakes races over there (Sydney).”

Winning Jockey: Will Price

“It was a pretty average run and we were stuck three-deep without cover. She was just too good today. We saw her put the writing on the wall at Sandown and she was tough last start at Ballarat and to see her do it tough again today was good.

“The track has played really well. All the horses on their day had their chance today.”
