She has a fantastic fresh record: “She was kept ticking over and she was covered and is in foal to Earthlight, the Darley stallion so it’s his first winner.

How much more racing for her: “She can go until March which is when the cut off point is (for racing in foal) and I have to thank Cambridge Stud (Brendan & Jo Lindsay) for their support - they’re great supporters of the stable so it’s good to get a nice winner for them.

Future plans: “Today looked the perfect race for her, on paper I thought she was the best horse in the field so we’ll just keeping her going through her grades. She’s racing in good form so we’ll just take small steps and see how we go.

Winning Jockey: Michael Dee

Merit of the win: “She’s always shown good ability and can pick up a nice race along the way. She always puts her best foot forward. She came here fresh, off a soft trial and the blinkers off. She’a genuine racehorse now and she was strong through the line.

Track conditions: “Both races have run along at a nice enough tempo and horses have been able to come from the back - it’s probably a bit early to say the inside is no good.
