Winning Trainer: Peter Moody (Katherine Coleman speaking)

The performance: “It was definitely impressive, it was really nice to see her settle there and then when she got that nice bit of clear air and just to finish it off strongly. I thought she was quite strong through the line as well so it will be really interesting to chat to Luke (Nolen) and see what he thought.

On racing on a bigger track: “I think that might be the key to her, she’s such a big filly as you can see in the mounting yard but I think these wider, bigger tracks are going to suit her.

Where to now: “It’s the right time of year for her now so hopefully we can sort something for her, we’ll just take it step by step and race by race and build her profile.

Winning Jockey: Luke Nolen

The race: “She was open to further improvement (off the Sale win) and the horse she beat came out and won the previous so that ties in good. We probably added a string to her bow , she began evenly but she snuggled up nicely underneath me and when I asked her to go she really let rip like a horse with nice quality.

Today’s run: “I think she’s built off the first-up run, the second-up run was an anomaly and she’s bounced back to her best here.

On the future: “I still think she’s probably a work in progress, but what I was most pleased with today was the way she settled and how she rounded it off, she’s sort of been a bull at a gate a l;ittle bit in her races so that’s encouraging going forward. I would say she’s still on a learning curve (mentally) but she had a good experience here today and that will hold her in good stead going forward.
