Margins: Head x Head
Winning Trainer: Maddie Raymond
On the mare: “She’s so tough, she’s so honest. They had her on the line but you can see her dig deep and fight too.”
Going through head 100m after start: “It wasn’t great. This wasn’t going to plan at all. It’s not great that she’s missing the kick. I’m sure we’ll be able to give her a good squeeze out if we need to. She’s relaxing well now, but she might be overdoing it a bit. She’s a little bit more versatile, so if you do find a race where there is a lot of speed, you can sit off and she can finish off like that.”
Showing she’s in the right frame at right time of year: “She went into her first run with no jump-outs, no trials, and she ended up having a pretty soft run and I thought she was still fresh enough to be here today over 1200 (metres), but she’ll take good improvement from that and better better off over even further.”
Cup week: “There’s a few options for her. There’s a 1400-metre mares’ race on Cup Day which I’ve had kin the back of my mind for a little while. The 1400 metres at Flemington suits her best, so I’ll be pretty happy with her going into it.”
Winning Jockey: Damian Lane
On the win: “She stepped slow both runs in this prep. I don’t know why she’s doing that. She used to fly the gates and it just makes it a little bit hard for herself. I needed a little bit of luck in running, which I got and she had to sprint really quickly from where I was to be able to get the win.”
Reason for stepping slow: “She used to be a hot, hard to handle filly that was always really on edge and she used to fly the gates and be really keen accordingly. As she’s getting a bit more mature maybe she’s getting a little more relaxed. She doesn’t do anything wrong in the barriers. It’s not the end of the world. Stepping out in trip, hopefully going forward we can get her jumping a little better and then relaxing during the run.”
