Winning Trainer: Danny O’Brien (Brook Schroen speaking)

On the win after three seconds: “Connections and the team have been so patient with her and now she’s rewarded us with a win - she’s been a model of consistency all preparation and through her career.

On the future: “We’ll take her home and watch her recovery and then Danny will decide where we go next. She’s a horse that he’s always had an opinion of and no no doubt she can get another city win on the board.

On distance: “Getting that win today gives us more confidence about getting further.

Winning Jockey: Jamie Kah

On the win: “It was really good, really impressive. The idea was to be a bit handier today and she’s a jockey’s dream out there. She’s really tractable, I had to give her a dig up to make her begin but then she came back to me. She gave me a lovely ride and she was quite tough late as well.

The finish: “I had to get after her early and she didn’t really want to get going - she was grinding on the turn butover a bit further I think she’ll be able to sit handier and she’s a nice horse with a big heart.
