Winning Trainer: Grant Allard

On what the win means: "I've been part of bigger wins, I've been able to look after champions of the Australian turf for a long while. Some wins just mean more than others and this one's probably right up there."

"She's led all the way at Rosehill when starting from an outside barrier. She hates Eagle Farm so we're limited in what we can run here. I prayed for rain during the week, we didn't get it. We got a wide barrier, great ride. But thank you so much to the owners for their support they've stuck by me through thick and thin. Grand Syndicates $11,000 purchase she's won just under $400,000 now. That was great."

Winning Jockey: Andrew Mallyon

On the run: "I had a little bit of confidence and then the barriers come out and I went 'oh no.' She's just improved every time I've gotten on her. Although I was a fair way back I got a good cart into the race and just kept turning left and everything kept dragging me up. Got to the outside and she let rip. She let down really nicely and it's been good."

"It was a good tempo. I was just able to get a drag into the race, I was constantly moving forward even though I was back. Every back I got onto kept dragging me up a little further. Full credit to her."
