"We've made no secret of our respect for this filly from her first start in Geelong we've had this week in mind for her.

"It doesn't always play out as smoothly as what it has for her this spring but so far so good.

"She's going to go to the Oaks in great shape. She's a filly that is big and strong by So You Think. He won a Mackinnon Stakes on this day about 15 years ago and he's passed away so it is great to see his filly turning up and winning this, and hopefully the Oaks on Thursday.

Compared to his Oaks winner Miami Bound: "They're different types. Miami Bound was a smallish filly but the same sort of constitution. You need a tough filly to find her way through the Oaks particularly when you want to do the back up.

"This filly has got a great constitution like Miami Bound had."

Would she handle the wet: "I think it would suit her, to be fair. So You Think gets a lot of very good wettrackers and I don't think she'll be an exception."

Winning Jockey: Mark Zahra

"She's a very nice horse to ride. Flew the start, then I was able to sit outside the leader on a moderate tempo, relaxed really well, she stargazed pretty much all the way up the straight, she did it effortlessly."

Pressure of riding short-priced favourites: "Hope they win, I suppose. I just trust my process and try to block out the noise, but they'll let you know about it when you come back."

"She's a good barrier horse. A nice horse to ride. Quick out and was able to sit outside the leader and was just strolling along out there and using no effort at all. Only problem was when I took it up halfway up the straight, she had a good look around and with a bit of urging she focused a bit and it was just the sort of win you hope for going into an Oaks.

"On the Saturday and most of them going to the Oaks, if you do that (shake it up) you can ruin your horse.

"I think everyone rode their race and the best horse won."
