Winning Trainer: Leon & Troy Corstens (rep by Dom Sutton - Troy just returned from Hunter Valley)

"The team down at Geelong have been really happy with the way she came through that run (at Moonee Valley). Johnny gave her a really good ride today, found a lovely spot and got her in a good rhythm. I think that was the key.

What's next: "We're going to take advantage of the good prizemoney in these races over the summertime. She's obviously in a good vein of form so we'll look to find a similar sort of race in a couple of weeks time."

Winning Jockey: John Allen

"Obviously I was very lucky to get the ride - unfortunately Craig (Williams) got stood down. I was happy to get on board. She gave me a nice feel and won quite easily. She was having a good look over the last 50 yards but with a bit in hand still, I think."

On the track: "There's a lovely cover of grass, there's a nice cushion on it. Probably will firm up as the day goes on but it seems to be in great condition."
