Winning Trainer: Kris Lees

"We were lucky that when Jason was injured, James was without a ride. He showed good gate speed, controlled it well in front but let him run too which was a good controlled frontrunning run.

"With that type of horse, when he can rail around like that and put a big gap in the straight, they're hard to run down.

"He's still got a lot to learn and you can imagine he's an aggressive horse at home. He's a bit of a handful but we're winning the battle and hopefully he's back here next year for one of the bigger prizemoney races."

Winning Jockey: James McDonald

"I picked this up through Jason (Collett) unfortunately being injured. He gave me good advice about letting him flow and letting him gallop - thanks very much for that.

"And Kris Lees, he's a champion. Great bloke and good to ride a winner for for him."
