Winning Trainer: Peter & Paul Snowden (rep by Quinton Cassidy)

"They're masters, Peter and Paul, and full credit to them. She's come down in great order and it makes our job easy down here to tick her over and present her to get the cash."

Confidence from how well she settled: "Definitely, and she had been racing well all prep and was on the way up.

"I knew she'd get down here and relax. Easy filly to deal with."

Winning Jockey: Damien Oliver

"That was the first sit I'd had on her and she's been winning well in Sydney and winning form is good form.

"I like the way she had really been attacking the line, up there. A little bit of a jump in class today but there was nice pace in the race.

"I was hoping to be a little closer but she wouldn't have been comfortable if I had been any closer so I just let her be happy and she joined in great coming into the straight and she was really strong to the finish."

Possibly the Kewney or Australian Guineas as next options?: "I think the Kewney would be a good option the way she finished off. A mile, she was strong and the Snowdens are very good trainers and I wouldn't like to tell them what to do too much. They know what they are doing. "
