Winning Trainer: Robert Heathcote (stable representative Oliver Clark-Peoples speaking)

Gaps opened: "I got a little worried there, that she was going to run into some bad luck again, which she's no stranger to this prep. But when Blake pulled her out, I knew he had plenty of horse under him, and we'd been very confident leading into today."

Had bad luck this time in: "Obviously Blake has been on her the whole way through so he knows the bad luck he's run into, and I just told him before the race today, I didn't give him any instructions. He knows her and just ride her like the best horse because I think that's what she was today."

Possible Empire Rose tilt: "There is a lot to consider. Obviously, Rob and Tim from the First Light team will put our heads together after this to see how she pulls up, but yeah, the Empire Rose, there's a few big things we might go for, but we'll just see how she comes through today."

Winning Jockey: Blake Shinn

On the win: "It's been a great day, delighted to win on this horse for First Light Racing, Rob Heathcote and his team. You wouldn't get a more consistent and honest mare to ride, just tries her best. Her last two runs put the writing on the wall for today and I'm just pleased to get the result for the connections on a great day of racing."

Confident in run: "I was. I just had to extricate out. The speed in the first two hundred (metres) or so was quicker than I expected but I just allowed her to relax, find her groove, and then into the straight she just came underneath me nicely and proved too strong.

"Great day for the Heathcote stable, their old boy Rothfire won in Sydney which was great to see and for this girl to win, it's a testament to Rob and his stable, I'm just delighted to team up with them."
