Winning Trainer: Joe Pride (rep by Gemma Reilly)
"She's a beautiful filly and Joe has sent a few horses to me over to me now and they just turn up in immaculate condition. She travelled so well and she licked the feed bin. Just walking next to her you could tell that she was switched on and ready to go.
"Joe hasn't had a lot of luck here at Moonee Valley as he expressed to me this morning. He'll be pumped. It was such a good run, it was a really hot speed.
"Struggled a little bit to get around the turn but she was very good late."
What's next: "I don't know but what a progressive filly. She just seems to get better prep after prep. She's a lovely, big filly and I think she's still got a bit to learn so the owners will be really happy with this one in the next six months."
Winning Jockey: Damian Lane
"She was great. Obviously very well placed and well prepared by Joe Pride. She was in the Toy Show today in Sydney but elected to go the softer option and it was a great decision.
"She stalked the speed and I was the winner a long way out. She's got the scope to keep going up in grade. She's building a great record and going the right way about things.
"Considering she handled The Valley so well, there might be better races here for her."
