On the win: “I think on a Good track she would have let down a lot better. It looked like her wheels spun a little bit and I’d say it’s a very messy race.

“She was in an awkward spot the entire way, so the smallish margin is probably not indicative of how talented she may be and the second horse has obviously got Black Type already, so I think it was a better win than it looked.”

Where to next: “We’ll see how she pulls up. She’s very capable of getting Black Type now, so we’ll see what’s on the calendar and whether there’s something ahead, otherwise we can put her away for the spring.

“She’s a gorgeous filly, she’s by Hellbent, and I’m sure they’ll get better with time.

“The team back at home have done a great job with her. Erin, who rides her back at home has done a great job with her. She’s a very sassy filly and she’s now become very nice to deal with. It’s a good job by everybody at home.”

Winning Jockey: Beau Mertens

On the performace: “She showed a really turn of foot at Terang when I asked her to go and today she made me worry a little bit, but she got through it. She just took a little bit more time to pick up and get through it, but she’s very classy.”

On how the race played out: “I was going to sit behind Linda but I had that one coming three-deep around me and I didn’t really want to be getting trapped in, especially with the one corner here at Sandown coming out the chute, so I just popped and wanted to let her flow into the race instead of getting held up.

“Definitely her wheels spun a little bit but she’s got a lot of class and get her back on a better surface and she’s going places.”
