Winning Trainer: Ben & JD Hayes (JD speaking)

“It was a lovely ride. He landed in a lovely spot. What I liked about that win is that he’s still learning his caper. He didn’t have it perfectly but he was so powerful at the end that the mile was no problem.

“We’ll see how he pulls up. He’s a horse that doesn’t carry a lot of condition but we’ll sit down with the team and pick out a suitable race.”

Winning Jockey: Josh Richards

“He stepped up once again today. Up in distance, he handled it all quite well.

“He did it quite easily. He got a lovely run in transit and traveled up on the corner. He got to the front quite easily and I think he still had plenty in the tank.

“We were able to get onto Savannah Cloud’s back and once we got up to him in the straight he put it away quite well.”
