Winning Trainer: Anthony & Sam Freedman (Dara O'Meachir speaking)
The performance: "He's certainly an exciting horse to watch. He wears his heart on his sleeve and there are not many horses that can lead him over that sort of trip, there are not too many horses in Australia that can go with him early - it was a good win.
Future plans: "He has an affinity to this track, that win is going to leave his rating a little bit tricky, probably in the mid eighties so he might be able to carry a bit of weight in an 84 but there are some options there for him.
Winning Jockey: Matt Cartwright
On the start: "This horse is lightning out of the gates, pretty much just catch and hold on to him.
Options: "The way he's going I can't see why he couldn't step up a grade. It was a pretty soft win today, especially around Moonee Valley, and he might be able to pick up a stakes race
