Likes the track: "She's a beach babe. She just loves the Gold Coast. She loves the nightlife. She can get a bit warm before the race so it really suits her these night races.

"Got her quite cheap and she has always shown us a bit of ability but has takes managing.
"She's a great horse at the stable and a great owner supporting us."
Can she get further: "I think she can get further but it depends on the speed of the race and she shape of the track. I could see her winning over a mile."
Winning Jockey: Cobi Vitler
"I've had three rides for a second and two wins now. She's just a tough, honest mare. So consistent through this prep."
Did he intend to lead: "No, I intended to sit outside of the leader and make a race of it but it worked out that she got to the front and she was happy there and found the line nicely."
What the horse likes about Gold Coast: "Some of the country tracks are quite tight but you come here with a big open straight with room to come through, it is a nice track downhill."
