Winning Trainer: Julie Scott

Form of Wicklow Town: "Yeah he has been going well, things just with bad barriers prior to today, just haven't panned out for him. He didn't really get a super run today, he got caught wide but he was too good."

Good form at Caulfield: "He does love it here. He's funny, he comes off the truck and sort of says I know where I am, struts his stuff. He really does enjoy coming here."

Horse and Jockey's great association: "Absolutely. He was down to ride him one day at Flemington and we had to scratch because of the track upgrade but just circumstances, too much weight and we were claiming on him but today he dropped 2.5kg from the other day. It was good to get Billy (Egan) back on."

Winning Jockey: Billy Egan

Great association with the horse: "I do, but he's not an easy horse. He's had a lend of a few riders, me included a couple of times, and he nearly got another lend of me then. He stepped a bit slow and he was back and then they whacked the skids on and I thought 'there's no point being this far back'. He's a pretty tough bastard so I got on my bike and put him into the race and let him do it and once I stood over him a bit, he went on and did the rest himself."

What are his quirks: "He's generally a bit slow out and then he wants to get on the bridle a bit and you just have to sit there and be a passenger a little bit. In the first half he wants to do a bit wrong and in the second half he's not going to do it unless you make him, rip into him, growl at him and even when he got there he wanted to duck in once he hit the front. I had to put the stick in the left and keep at him."
