Winning Trainer: Matt Laurie

Fractious in the barriers: “He can be a bit of a pain in the bum in the gates at times. A bit frustrating to see that but hopefully now he’s got this run under the belt and we’ll be able to move forward.

“I was a bit worried, I felt that he probably hadn’t done enough work for this surface today but was hoping class would take him through. But he looked like he was running one empty a fair way from home, to my eye.

“He’ll come on a hell of a lot from that. There’s an 1100 metre race maybe at Caulfield in a fortnight. I was thinking of something like that. Then we’ll back off and prepare him for the spring.”

Winning Jockey: Ben Melham

“He’s a lovely colt. Obviously today’s conditions weren’t ideal for him but we just nursed him along. His condition was a bit of a query first-up but his ability took him a long way. He was too good.

“He’s still a bit colty, bit rowdy, bit full of himself. With this run under his belt I’m sure he’ll calm down a bit.”
