Winning Trainer: Henry Dwyer
During the run: “It just panned out beautifully. Everything that could have happened, did. A horse from out wide crossed us and we were able to get a bunny which was great. Another dimension to her.
“She always looked to be in control of it. She got the wobbles up a little bit late but it was a good effort with 58-kilos, out to 1100 metres and a field of that quality.”
Leading into the race: “I’ve been looking for reasons all week why not to run her and why she can’t win and all the negatives but this morning I got to 7:30 at scratching time and just thought throw caution to the wind, let her be a good horse and let her win.”
Oakleigh Plate the aim: “That’s always been the long range plan, the medium term plan now. I think winning today we won’t have the luxury of having another run before the Oakleigh Plate (so) she’ll go in first-up.
What’s next: “She’ll have a nice four weeks in the paddock now and get her back in the autumn for Sandown.
“This horse is great because she’s been at St Leonards for the last two weeks at the beach so all my team have been great.”
Winning Jockey: John Allen
Caught up in reins: “It happened to me once up the straight last year, my reins a bit long, I just changed my hands and got a bit loose there and it ended up coming over my head. Luckily she’s quite small so you don’t need too much rein.”
On the win: “It was a good, honest effort by the filly. She’s gone super, Henry and the team have her flying.”
What impressed him: “Just her attitude, got into a good rhythm, my first time sitting on her I thought she might be a little bit more on her toes but no, beautifully relaxed, done everything right and very professional.”
