Margins: ½L x 1L
Winning Trainer: Mat Ellerton & Simon Zahra (Mat speaking)
“It looked like he was in a tricky spot on the home turn and some of those out wider had a bit of momentum on him but he was good enough to knuckle down and get the job done.
“He’s really matured up fantastic from the spring. He had a really good break and he was a bit shin sore after his last run. Touch wood we’ve had a really faultless prep with him and hopefully he can make his way to a Prelude.”
Not nominated for Blue Diamond: “He’s not in the Blue Diamond so that’s a conversation we’ll have to have but hopefully get through a prelude with him.”
Winning Jockey: Jamie Kah
50th metro win for the season: “Things are going well and thanks to the team at Ellerton/Zahra for giving me some nice horses lately, including him. He’s come back bigger and better this time. He’s such a baby in his first few starts and he still, on ability, got there when he won his first race, but today he was a lot more polished.
“It would have been better out wider, ideally, but we had to cop it in the end. He still did a little bit wrong. He still laid in, was a little bit green so there’s lots of improvement there.”
Blue Diamond: “I’ll be happy to stay on for the ride. He’s only going to get better as he gets further and it’s up to them. I’d be pushing in that direction.”
