"The gate was a bit of a concern but when the track started playing a bit on pace that was a bit of a plus.

"You've just got to ride him half a second too fast than normal than a half a second back. He just switches off and such a relaxed customer.

"You've just got to put him in the zone and Bailey knows how to do it.

"You've got to ride him a little bit ugly sometimes. You put the bigger name jockeys on and they want to ride him too pretty. Bailey understands him. You've got to ride him negative. They go 100 yards and he's 100-1."

Winning Jockey: Bailey Wheeler

"I went down to Wagga to ride him a couple of starts ago and he's a very tough horse. I was a bit concerned by the barrier but he overcomes that with his gate speed.

"Going to the barriers, he filled me with confidence. He's very easy to ride, very straightforward.

"He's a chilled dude and it was great to ride him again."
