Winning Trainer: Matthew Williams
"She's been racing well and Dean was able to rate her perfect today. It all worked out perfect.
"She's just so honest. The Caulfield straight is not that long but it seemed a fair way today.
"Through her career she's been very honest. Just done a bit too much work early and that has found her out late. When you get that early part of the race right, she is very genuine."
Winning Jockey: Dean Yendall
"It has been great to get back to where I am now with all the support behind me.
"It's a great feeling to win on this mare today. She ran a bottler last time at Flemington. No fault of my own, I just tried to ride her a bit quieter and it didn't work out.
"Got caught wide but she still relished it late today. It looked like no speed whatsoever.
"She did fly out of the machines but was able to dictate and get across at a comfortable leisure and able to get across with a nice striding gallop and relaxed within herself as much as I could her.
"Then I asked her to kick off on the turn and the rest was history."
