Winning Trainer: Ciaron Maher & Dave Eustace

“He’s a really enigmatic horse. He’s got a lot of talent. It is taken a little bit of time to find the key, but just changing things up, you’ve got to keep the horse guessing.

“Credit to Josh. He was pretty forthright which is unlike him. It was a really good ride.

“We won last time and he’s only going to gain confidence again from that. He’s a very likeable horse at home, a kind soul but he leaves a bit for himself occasionally. ”

Winning Jockey: Josh Richards

“We thought we’d just roll forward. The other day he was hard to get going and keep going. Today he took me right into it.”

Experience riding on speed: “The country riding back in NSW, a lot of it is on-speed.”

“Today I think he was a completely different horse. From the 800 (metre mark) he was picked up and just towed me into it.”
