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

"Tim switched him off nice and early which is the key. He was full of running there on the home turn so I was confident to see that with the trip that he had.

Future: "I think we'll have to go for the Melbourne Cup. He's an amazing, progressive horse. He's come a long way and that tops off the campaign nicely.

"He can't have too long off but he's had some nice conditioning this preparation and we'll try and work backwards from the Melbourne Cup.

"He's still learning what it is all about. Even when he hit the front I was worried about him getting there too early. THere is still progression (to come).

"He had a bit of a wander around when he got to the rail but when he was challenged, I thought he responded nicely in the end.

"He conserved energy in the run and the way he quickened he was full of confidence. Lightly raced for a stayer and it will be exciting to see what he can do in a few campaigns ahead.

Winning Jockey: Tim Clark

"Since the blinkers have been removed he has been much better. That has helped him be so strong at the end of his races.

"He's a pleasure to ride and another good find out of New Zealand. He has come here and really found his mojo now.

"He's shooting through the grades nicely. He's thrived with the sun on his back and he can run a strong two miles. When he had clean air he really dragged me forward.

"He had energy stored in the run and he picked up when I let him go."
