Winning Trainer: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott (Adrian speaking)

"Nice effort from the horse today. He relished the conditions which he was able to do. Good New Zealand form, particularly in those conditions.

"He's been a progressive horse and he is starting to put is all together now. There's more upside there and he is racing with a bit of confidence."

Brisbane Cup next: "I think we'll have to. I think he's got the ability to stay further. I just want to take advantage of while he's in this form. I think there is more upside so why not look at it.

"We came up here with a bit of confidence the way he'd been working since his last run and the way he's been all preparation. When the rain came it filled is with confidence.

"Still had a stick draw there but when Tim was able to get him outside of the leader, he did relatively little work and we were able to control the race from that point. I was pretty confident through the run and he looked to travel pretty well.

"Lovely ride by Tim. He knows the horse very well."

Winning Jockey: Tim Clark

"He made a really big leap there coming from midweeks. The horse has been going so well that we were confident he would take that step.

"He's just been a different horse since Gai and Adrian took the blinkers off him. He was wanting to overdo it. With the blinkers off he relaxes really well. He conserves his energy and it was a really dominant performance there.

"The way he's relaxing in his races is the key and I'm sure over two miles he'll do the same.

"He's versatile and a lightly raced horse on the rise."
