Winning Trainer: Ciaron Maher
"She's done pretty good. She just keeps improving, this mare. She's furnishing and she's got a really good record down the straight.
"It was just a beautiful ride. She (Gaudray) decided halfway down the straight that she wasn't happy and she pulled the horse to the outside.
"That was the winning move and timed the run to perfection. Great job by the team."
<Jack Turnbull indicated Hareeba Stakes likely for this horse.>
Winning Jockey: Celine Gaudray
"Everything panned out perfectly. Just wanted to tuck in behind the speed. I fanned her out wide to make sure she had that clear running and she let down really nicely.
"She was quite competitive and I don't think she would have allowed the horse on her outside to get past her."
