Winning Trainer: Jason Coyle
Missing out on Galaxy run: "I was ashamed this morning not getting her in the Galaxy, given that were 10 horses hitting the line together. I think she would have been pretty competitive, but it's a nice consolation."
Effort: "She's a beauty. She tries hard, she'll go home, she'll eat, she does everything right - she's easy to train."
"It's easy to train good horses. It's nice to have her back in the stable. Great ownership. Yeah, two group threes is nice, but I don't think we've quite found our top with her."
"The old cliche, take her home and make sure she's all right. She's got better races in her."
Winning Jockey: Adam Hyeronimus
First-up win: "Jason wouldn't have put her in this race if he didn't think she'd be able to execute it first-up. It was a bit of an unknown - we obviously had good trust in Jason."
"He was here for a reason and we know how to ride her. Jase is always good to ride for, he knows his horses and how they need to be ridden. It just needed to be executed really well and it was."
Beaten Jockeys:
Damian Lane (Monte Supreme): "She ran well. She got beaten for speed early. Got a long way back."
Tommy Berry (Within The Law): "Great start off to her campaign."
James McDonald (More Territories): "She was a good run."
Ben Thompson (Coco Jamboo): "She was OK from a wide draw. Had to cover ground and better on top of the ground."
Dylan Gibbons (Memo): "I think she just lost sight of the race. See her again."
Tom Sherry (Oui Oui Oui): "She got back but ran home really strongly."
Tim Clark (Inkaruna): "Really good effort from her. Had to do a lot of chasing to get to the leader and the last 25m just got overpowered late."
Andrew Adkins (Cosmonova): "Had to do a little bit too much work in the run. Compounded late."
Alysha Collett (Asgarda): "Brilliant run. She just looking for further."
Rachel King (Spring Lee): "Super run. She was able to bounce and put herself into a beautiful spot today. Was happy and gave a really good kick."
Jay Ford (Lady Extreme): "She ran really well. Able to capitalise on that low draw and she bounced back."
Kerrin McEvoy (Arriving Home): "That was an improved run. She will be better again on a drier surface."
Tyler Schiller (Terrestar): "I thought she was terrific. Just drew a bad barrier today. Had to get a bit further back. Stayed on really strong. Last bit was her best."
