Could next start be Oakleigh Plate: "Oh dear. Let's not get to far ahead of ourselves but that was really impressive. She couldn't have won more convincingly than that.

"I was a fantastic ride from Zac Spain. He took luck out of the occasion by putting her where she was going to be able to get out and get mobile when she needed to.

"We haven't got anything set in stone this preparation. We're going to aim to keep her to the short courses. We toyed with the idea of stretching her out to a mile but I think we know she's got that electric turn-of-foot over the short distances.

"We'll keep her to that but we won't make any decisions on race day. It'll be exciting where she heads to next."

Winning Jockey: Zac Spain

"She's very smart. She feels like she hasn't reached her ceiling yet and the world is her oyster and I'm glad I can be a part of it.

"She raced a little bit fresh today which she has done in her jump outs this preparation. She has been a bit keen and every time I have galloped her she's got better and better.

"First time at the races today, she was really on her toes and she flew the barriers. Normally she can be on the back foot. I ended up a bit closer than I wanted to be but she travelled so good in the early stages.

"She's got very good natural improvement. Pete and Katherine will have her cherry ripe next start wherever she goes."
