“I was pretty confident coming in today. It was a very good run behind a smart one at Pakenham.

“I’d say he was a bit too good for these today.

“They ran along quite good which suited us. The second horse traveled into it nicely.

“I popped out to give him every chance and let him roll into it and not give the leaders a head start. He traveled up really nicely, let down and was too good for them.”
