"I think the margin, we had a fair margin."
On the horse: "When he races up to his pedigree and settled, he'll race better. A patient bunch of owners, patient trainers tops it off."
Winning Jockey: Ben Melham
"He's not an easy horse to ride. He went off the track a little but but he was pretty good today. I ended up in a sweet spot and on the back-up really helped me over 1400-metres.
"He was pretty dominant.Not a bad effort for a maidener. The ability was never the issue, but it is good to see him break through in this race today."
