Winning Trainer: Ciaron Maher & Dave Eustace (Ciaron speaking)
"She's always been a filly with oodles of ability. She took a while to come to hand. We were half thinking about kicking her off in the Moir at The Valley. She's a real 1000 metre horse.
"We waited for her and I thought it was a solid effort first-up after such a long break. Really rapt to come here today.
"I thought Jye rode her really well. She's not a horse you can ask to go forward and come back. You've got to keep her happy and free. Great result.
"Great to get a winner for Emirates Park. They've had a pretty good day today and I'm sure they'll be chuffed. I've got a lot of time for this filly.
Next: "She can have a freshen now. It's almost a summer carnival now that comes around here. It's pretty early. She's had a long time off so she'll likely have a little freshen. She does take a long time to come to hand.
Oakleigh Plate: "Possibly. I'd love it if it was 1000 metres but that handicap level as a three-year-old might suit her. And she was quite tractable today. We might be going in the right direction."
Winning Jockey: Jye McNeil
"The best part about it was we didn't have the ear muffs on today and she was very controlled in the early stages.
"She did get a little bit strong getting towards the home turn but I was able to just work with her nd let her slide into the race. I guess the promising part was how strong she was over the final stages.
"It seems as though she's starting to learn to pace herself a little bit better and that's a credit to all the work the team has done with her.
"She's come on a lot from the Cup Day start and she's got that edge of freshness off her. She was inclined to get a bit fractious in the gates where she was a lot better behaved today and that is taking her a long way."
