Winning Trainer: Nick Ryan
Horse slid through along the rail: "He (Radley) much have had George Moore's whistle on him. The gap opened up. He's a smart kid and with his three-kilo claim, he's ridden two feature race winners for me.
"I couldn't be a bigger rap for him and the horse has done a great job.
On the horse: "She was weighted to win today. She looked a weight certainly but still had to go out there and do it.
"That's her ninth run of the prep. She's been in a long time. She keeps raising the bar. She is getting up the ratings now.
Maybe Launceston: "Don't know. Talking with the owners, we couldn't pass up this race. We might look at it with good prizemoney. It is hard to send a mare who is going so well to the paddock.
Winning Jockey: Jackson Radley
"I was a little bit worried especially when Nick said to ride her like the best horse in the race. It was a good opportunity when Jamie (Melham, Magnaspin) rolled one off the fence so I kicked up and held my spot.
"I probably went a bit earlier than I wanted to, but credit to her. She's a nice strong horse.
"Credit Magnaspin. I got through and put half a length on him but he kept fighting back. At the 100 (metre mark) I was a little bit worried but she fought hard to the line."
