Winning Trainer: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott (Gai speaking)

"I'm only having a short day here because I'm going home to watch it on the telly.

"I'm just delighted. We planned for this race (and) we thought it could happen and James made it happen.

"She's changed and matured. Being down here in the smaller stable (has suited). She's been here a while and has put on great condition. She's tenacious. She may not be the biggest filly but she's got a lot of heart."

<Hoping to run over Cup Week>

Winning Jockey: James McDonald

"Very simple instructions from Gai and Adrian. They're accustomed to rolling forward and setting a nice speed.

"The bone and muscle of Waterhouse-Bott came through in the end.

"She is extremely honest, very game and gave me a beautiful ride and it was a pleasure to partner her today. She's very tenacious. It won't be her last."
