"He's just an absolute beauty. We came up here today rapt with how the horse was. Last week, we were a bit deflated when the races were called off. The track has dried out all week but the track is still a bit choppy, and at the top of the straight I thought we were in a little bit of trouble. But he was prepared to get down and dirty and tough it out. I didn't think he looked as comfortable as he does on a good surface, but Timmy [Clark] knows him well and he did a great job sitting off Hidden Wealth. The horse did deep, which he had to. I'm rapt for the owners, they give me free rein to do whatever I need to do with this horse. We had to pump his tyres up again after they were deflated in the Quokka. He just doesn't go well in that direction, and that has been rubber stamped by his win here today."

A pleasure to have in the stables: "Absolutely. The key is just keeping him sound and happy. We know what he likes and more importantly what he doesn't like. He got conditions to suit, and it was great to see him get the job done."

Winning Jockey: Tim Clark

"I've only got on this horse later in his career, but I was extremely proud of him there today. I felt for him a lot earlier than I was hoping to, and I thought we were in some trouble between the 500 and the 300-metre marks. But he dug deep and was extremely brave. Congrats to Matty for getting him back from Perth, freshening him up and turning him out in such good order today. He knows the horse so well and he's been an old marvel."
