Winning Trainer: Mike Moroney

“Always held him in high regard. I think he’s a very good horse. When I saw him parading on Caulfield Guineas Day I knew he shouldn’t have been here - he was all over the shop. Probably about three inches down in front and up behind, just came to the end of it by then.

“He’s come back, he’s evened up, he’s a big powerful bloke. He’s evened up. He’s got a real future.

“We came here today torying to work out whether he’d drop back to 1200 metres or go up to a mile. Probably on what I’m seeing today he’d go up to the mile, he’s stronger. But he’s got a lot of speed for a So You Think so he might handle 1200 metres as well.

“I was thinking we were getting a lovely run, but I knew it was going to suit the backmarkers too. So I thought for the first hundred in the straight he was vulnerable and they’d get him but he changed gear and kicked away and it was a very solid win with a solid pace.”

Thoughts point to Australian Guineas: “As long as he comes through (this) well enough I can see that being the logical race for him.”

Unlikely to need another run beforehand: “I don’t think so. His fitness levels were pretty good and came off a pretty solid jump out at Flemington. We gave him a really solid jump out. That was the time that we should he was so impressive over half-a-mile that maybe he’s a 1200 metre horse but he ran through the line today.”

Winning Jockey: Jordan Childs

“I was very happy when they went that quick. Assessing the race beforehand I thought it was going to be a bit tricky, but it actually worked out perfectly.

“I was able to get to the ‘one-one’, he relaxed perfectly. Still hit the front a bit early and I thought he floated a little bit, but he had a bit of class to get him over the line.

“I knew this bloke had a few gears up his sleeve. He’d been trialling very well. I know he’d been working well and it’s great to get a good win for Mike.”

Onto Australian Guineas: “Absolutely. I think he’s a horse with a lot of improvement. He does everything right during the race but he’s still a bit of a baby after and beforehand, he gets a bit hot. He’ll keep getting better with experience.”
