Winning Trainer: Peter Moody (rep by Katherine Coleman)

“We’re very pleased to get that result today. It’s great for Blueblood Thoroughbreds to have an exciting colt in their stable - it’s really nice.

“It’s all been a build-up getting him there fitness-wise and he saddled up in really good order. He’ll improve again off today’s run and we really look forward to being back here in three weeks time for the Caulfield Guineas.

Any other Caulfield Guineas hopes in the stable: “He’s the clear and present number one seed.”

Winning Jockey: Luke Nolen

“I’ve only won the Caulfield Guineas Prelude twice and both of them went on to win it so hopefully lightning strikes for a third time.

“I think he’s still on the up. Really happy we had him screwed down. He had the two runs here, didn’t do a lot in the first run but I was really happy with the second part of his run here.

“We had a race shape a bit more suited to us today. The really pleasing part of it is that I asked him to fire away and then he came back underneath me and I rode him on a bit of cotton.

“Going to the mile doesn’t pose any fears for us so he’s on an upward spiral. He’s three weeks away from the final hopefully it all falls in line for that.

Gate speed: “I’ll be able to get him to fire up and come back. He stepped very well today but you’ve got to be mindful here in the ‘final’ that you work up that hill for the first half so you have to be a bit careful then.

“We’ll enjoy this one first. Get nice and pissed and worry about the next one in three weeks time.”

Trainer/jockey combination: “It is always good. I think we won the Heatherlie last year which was a bit of a surprise result. My weight isn’t good enough to be riding all of them unfortunately but he’s been forgiving of that.

“I’ve had to give away a few rides recently and he’s still forgiving of that. I served him pretty well for the first 15 years so that’s maybe why he’s so forgiving.”
