Winning Trainer: Grahame Begg

Building a profile: "She's always shown us ability. Her first start in a race she ran third behind Planet Red, who ran second in the Guineas, Observer, ran second and who won the Derby and she ran third. She deserved that Listed win. She's been running well right throughout the spring, but hasn't had a lot of luck in her races. The other day, it was a tragedy that she didn't finish closer to Sheza Alibi as she got held up to the 100 metres and we all saw what Sheza Alibi did in the Sandown Guineas. It's great for Jonathan Munz and Pinecliff Racing. He bred her. She's a homebred and it's very important to get a Listed win on the board. I'm sure there's plenty more."

Managed since last run: "She didn't have a jump-out. I sent her down to the water treadmill at Somers. She had a week down there, was out in paddock during the day, and just freshened up. She prepped up really well for the race and we were really confident that she would run well."

Winning Jockey: Jordan Childs

Ridden all way through: "Today she did all the things right. She's been getting back in her races and having to rely upon a lot of luck. From the good gate today, we were able to jump, hold a spot in the box seat. Along the side, when the favourite wobbled, I was able to take it's spot and then have an uninterrupted run into the race and she was good all through the line."

Taking chance on turn: "I was following Willo (on Sketch) and I thought I was going to have to have a bit of luck to get out, but just on the side there it (Jenni Gone Bonkers) didn't look like it was handling it all that well and I sensed that it was the time to get off and get into that one off line which gave me a bit of clear air. She was able to build up her momentum. I think she's a nice horse. She hasn't had much much and it was good to get that win today."

Bounced from her break: "She had been going well the whole way through without any luck. It was good to do that for Pinecliff and Grahame and the team."
