Winning Trainer: Symon Wilde (Dylan McGuiness interviewed)

“Probably helped Real Gun missed the kick a little bit so was left a pair or two back and allowed Linda to find the fence and get a couple of easy cheap sectionals out there and kick on the turn. That was all she wrote, really.

“She’s been given plenty of time. She was only lightly raced for her age. Marg Lucas (owner) has been patient enough to allow Symon and the team plenty of time to mature and develop up and is now reaping the rewards brilliantly.”

Winning Jockey: Linda Meech

“She gives you a nice feel. I actually had the fortune of having a little sit on her at the jump outs at Casterton so I knew her.

“Knowing today she was a bit sharper than she was at Casterton she just lobbed around and gave me a really nice ride. Today she was full of business.

“She sprang the lids really well and Real Gun and a few of the others didn’t show as much speed as I thought they would and she took up the running and never looked like getting beaten.”
