"He's a horse we sourced and purchased and thought he was the right article and he showed that today that he's the horse we'd hoped for. He looks to have a bright staying future.
"The whole idea was to come here and get his rating up so we can target some races in the spring. He's achieved that now so we'll back off him and have a spell but he'll go to a water walker and tick over and have a little reward for a few weeks - keeping his muscle and then we'll take him home and see where we'll go."
Winning Jockey: Ash Morgan
"He's a proper, proper horse. Got into a nice spot, he switched off for me. It was a muddly run race. Bailey (Wheeler, Nickau Spur) went for it in the race which allowed me to flow into it.
"Tony said before the race was to let him rest because it was his first time at the trip. When I went for him he exploded. I think he's a proper horse.
"His strength is that he relaxes really well in the run and has an explosive turn-of-foot. He put them to bed.
"Down in the weights, and there's a lot of good races over two miles, there's not really any ceiling for that."
"Thanks to Tony for four rides today and they were all immaculately prepared and they all ran enormous.
"My first rides for the stable and hopefully not my last."
