Winning Trainer: Danny O'Brien

"She was tipped out in the Manifold in a similar race in the spring and got there today. I thought she was going to get nutted again in a photo but she dug deep and it was a nice win."

Maiden before today: "She's always competed in good races and she's really furnishing into a lovely three-year-old filly now. I think there'll be more wins in store.

"She's got a great pedigree and we're very pleased to be involved with her."

"Robert (Anderson) has got some lovely fillies and Paradee ran a really good race for him. He's very pleased to get another stakes winning filly today."

What's next: "I'd say she'll probably head towards Adelaide. She might stay here for the stakes race at Moonee Valley in a couple of weeks time. She's VOBIS Gold so the VOBIS Gold Day and then maybe the Australasian Oaks."

Winning Jockey: Craig Williams

"Just shows the confidence that Danny O'Brien and his stable and the owners have in her. When she paraded Danny said that she looks like a really strong colt.

"She has done a great job because today under the weight scale conditions she met all of those horses on the same weight so it was a really good dominant win. We had a bit of a traffic jam but it was nice to come out with a win on Super Saturday in the last race.

"Danny was quite direct with his instructions to give her a chance from the barrier and I can see how he was vindicated by those instructions because weaving her way through them she was very versatile. Because she hasn't won, I think she didn't quite know how to put her away. But they are quality horses at the same weight.

"There's no doubt, like Paradee, this will give her a lot of confidence."
