Winning Trainer: Anthony and Sam Freedman (Ben Taylor interviewed)
"That was pretty impressive. When they came to the middle of the track, it's always hard for a two-year-old at their first start to come along the inside like that but at the 300 (metre mark) with Jamie (Kah) swinging its was easy watching after that.
"She's a filly that's going to improve. She's done everything right from the day we got her. She was professional here today - she was professional in the mounting yard. She's a nice filly, she's got the pedigree to back it up and it's nice to train another winner for Godolphin.
What's next: "She won't have to go to Sale to get the maiden out of the way. She'll probably go to Caulfield on Australia Day and run in the first of the Blue Diamond series races. Hopefully we can get through to the end of February."
Winning Jockey: Jamie Kah
"That was lovely. She's been good in her jump outs, nothing spectacular yet, but the team brought her to Flemington the other day and that was probably the difference between her winning and losing today. She was so green the other day at the jump outs and (I) never really got to have a decent feel of her, but today she was an absolute professional.
"(The performance) did (surprise). I knew she had talent and the team did too, but she's just been so green and we haven't really been able to see her do that yet. Down the straight to do that is exceptional."
