Winning Trainer: Annabel Neasham (represented by Aaron Chau)
"She's a mare in form and she was doing a good job all preparation but we came here more hopefully she'd run a nice race but it is brilliant to get the job done.
"She's continued to improve. We were finding a bit about her after coming from Melbourne.
Winning Jockey: Jason Collett
Did he think he got the photo: "I did. I actually said to James (McDonald), 'thanks'.
"I was assuming that I won it but for a moment I thought I might have gone too early.
"A bit of black type for this mare, but probably not the results the owners were expecting.
Children, mum and dad and Uncle Buster were on course: "Days like these are special."
On the horse: "I was hoping to run a place, to be honest but when she loomed up outside Hinged, I was up for the fight."
Beaten Jockeys:
Nash Rawiller (Duais): "To be honest I'm quite mystified. Just never let down comfortably. I'm not too sure. I couldn't fault her."
James McDonald (Hinged): "Good run."
Tom Marquand (Barbie's Fox): "Obviously tracked in on the back of them. It was a fair run on a day when it was hard to close off."
Zac Lloyd (More Secrets): "Fantastic return off no trial. Just tried to hide her as long as I could up the straight and settled for one last burst. She did that very nicely."
Kerrin McEvoy (Ausbred Flirt): "No. Forget run."
Dylan Gibbons (Miss Faberge): "Tremendous effort. Wish they all tried as hard as her."
Chad Schofield (Miss Couver): "She ran well. She led by default due to a lack of tempo in the race. Gave a good sight until her condition told first up late."
