Winning Trainer: Ciaron Maher & Dave Eustace (Ciaron speaking)

"She's been a real revelation, this mare since she's come back into the yard. The owners have always had a lot of faith in her.

"That was a pretty big win. She had no cover all the way. She looked like she worked most of the way and was very strong to the line.

"Dylan has got a good association. Fantastic.

"It is a long week but we were professional placegetters today. I needed a winner but it has been fantastic."

Winning Jockey: Dylan Gibbons

"This was my first time to the Gold Coast so I think I might try and come back every year.

On the run: "She jumped. The other day they rode her cold and that probably shows how to ride her. Today, albeit I was three-wide with no cover, she was smoking where she was and when I presented I thought it wasn't pretty and we were getting there a bit soon, but she is absolutely flying."
