Winning Trainer: Mark Kavanagh

“Well timed run and he likes Flemington, a good spacious track, and he’s a real stayer.

“He’s won two races. He’s been very very frustrating. He’s got a lot of ability but he’s just taken a long time to mature.

“There was obviously going to be a ton of pace so I just left it up her. Jamie is a great jockey.

“We’ll just see where we go from here. I think he’ll run 2400 metres, even 3200.”

Winning Jockey: Jamie Kah

“It was a very muddling race. You get that in these sorts of races. There’s not a lot of tempo and then they sprint. It was a big win for him to be back in the field. He wasn’t in a great rhythm and he was always above himself.

“To quicken like he did, he’s got a lot to learn, he’s such a raw horse.

“He gave me the feeling that he was going to win by two or three (lengths) but he’s just not there yet mentally. Next prep is going to be really important for this horse. It doesn’t mean that he’s not going to go onto bigger and better things this prep but he’s got that big baby brain at the moment, you’ve got to delay and he can do a lot wrong.”
