Winning Trainer: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young (Natalie speaking)

"It was fantastic. We've got a share of Forgot You so I was kind of glad that he got the bob in there but it was a good ride by Linda Meech on Commander Harry, great for SCT.

"But Forgot You, he always leaves us with our hearts in our mouths and it is good to have two live Derby contenders for next Saturday.

"It was a little bit of a different week for Forgot You. We had to take him to Werribee (vets) on Monday and we galloped him on Tuesday. He missed out on his beach trip this week but it has paid off.

"Great ride by Daniel. He's flying at the moment with three Group 1s and great for those colours. They add a leg with those colours on them.

"An Inglis Ready To Race horse. We can go back there on Tuesday and put our hand up with more confidence."

Commander Harry: "I did say to the owners last start (that) Daniel did say that he kind of murdered it a little bit so (we said) keep it going, give it one more.

"It is the family of Johnny Get Angry and he was only a $50,000 purchase at the New Zealand Ready To Runs so we thought we might get there next Saturday too."  

Winning Jockey: Daniel Moor

"I was always pretty confident because I know he hits that flat spot. I know that everyone in the world was having a heart attack but I know he does that.

"Today I was in the clear and had a good lure to chase. Today was more preferable to the other times I've ridden him.

"Linda does Linda things - she's an amazing rider. Just took the race by the proverbial and took off and even though it helped me, that horse has won a maiden and run second in a Group race here. Good riders make things happen and she made things happen. Unfortunately for her I just got her."
