Margins: ½L x Short ½ Head
Winning Trainer: Grahame Begg
“She’s certainly a well above average filly. Two starts for two wins. She just puts herself on speed and travels very smoothly. She had a hair bit of improvement in her today. She’ll come out of the race today and bounce out of that.
“She only had the one jump out going into it and she’s a massive doer in the stable. She eats as much as a five or six-year-old gelding. There’s no bottom to her. But she’s very exciting. She gave two kilos away, she paid the penalty for winning a Group 3 at her first start which is not easy to do.
“Obviously the second filly is a very good filly but she got the job done.
“She has a red hot go and Jordan rode her a treat. The ‘one’ barrier is always a big advantage but, you know what, you can’t do any more than win.
Comparison to Written By: “He won the Prelude so she’s won a Preview but this year unfortunately the way the races are structured she won’t have another run going into the Blue Diamond. She’ll only have the one run and we’ll try and give her a jump out somewhere in between, but she’s all racehorse.
Up 1200m any issue: “I don’t think so. It’s uncharted territory for all of them. There’s been no 1200 metre races on, really, but she’s on the right path.
Winning Jockey: Jordan Childs
“She’s going very well. She’s not fully screwed down yet, but Grahame Begg is a master of finding these two-year-olds and obviously, with Written By a couple of years ago, and to have her, she’ll be a very strong chance.
“She’s very quick out, she’s got a very high cruising speed and then she does what she has to do to win. I felt that I had more left in the tank. Still knowing that there’s more improvement within her after this run today is a big bonus.
“She raced a bit fresh today. She wanted to jump and really run through those early stages. I tried to keep her as comfortable as I could know that she’s still got more fitness to come off today. I thought it was a very good effort the way she kept finding and finding to the line. I really like her. I think she’s a really classy two-year-old.”
Can she go to a Blue Diamond and challenge: “Definitely. I really like her. I’ve done a lot of gallops and most of her main work this time in and she’s been going very well. She gives me a nice feel on the way up and is only going to improve with racing. She’s got better each time and I’ve noticed this time in that she’s just improved all round.
“It’s a real team effort. Grahame Begg and his team. She can be quite quirky and I’m pleased to be a part of it.”
Jamie Kah on beaten favourite Frost Flowers: “I think she probably ran up to her best today. She’s probably going to be better over further and I think she was chasing out of her comfort zone. She probably wasn’t as good as the market had her today. I think she’s a nice horse but she’s not ‘that’ classy. I thought she ran really well but to her ability.”
