Winning Trainer: Ciaron Maher & David Eustace (David interviewed)

“Her strength is that she travels really strong and she can quicken up from that. They didn’t go quick.

“Great for Matty. He works very, very hard particularly for us so it is great to give him some rewards.

“She actually doesn’t do a huge amount of galloping. The team at Fingal have done a great job with her and down at the beach.

“She’d been trained on the track most of her life and we decided to change things up which has really worked.

“Her jump outs were very good. She doesn’t do a whole lot at home but her jump outs were pretty smart.

“The owners decided to send her over and see if she could measure up and it is great to reward them and it was a bit of an experiment that seems to be working.”

Future: “The plan is to get black type and try and make her a stakes winner. We felt that she was well handicapped and has probably got another handicap in her.

“A race like the Chester Manifold would be a really nice race for her on 1 January. 1400, nice big track. It is probably a race we’d like to target going forward.”

Winning Jockey: Matt Cartwright

“She’s a nice mare and she brought some nice form from America. Obviously she’s delivered at her first two starts on a wet track and a frimer track. I think she’s done really well.

“She’s got potential.

“Panned out perfect. They didn’t go hard so that’s why I popped out three-deep. Just to make sure I got into her and they didn’t get away.

“She was dominant to line and it was an easy win.”
