Winning Trainer: James Cummings

"Every week we've been scratching, finding the right race here, the right race there, but he has just been going so well.

"I saddled him up back in February and he was much more enjoyable to saddle up this afternoon after the unkindest cut, two stone lighter.

"Now he has his mind back on the job. This is a horse back twelve month ago in the Baillieu Handicap, Group 3 at Rosehill, he had all potential in the world but he didn't quite go on with it since then and now he's back on track.

"Maybe a race like the Gunsynd Classic might be right up his alley in four weeks but if he turns up in the Fred Best between now and then, we might be cooking with gas.

"He's a talented horse and Jimmy Orman, he thought he was getting unfairly done-by when we did the switcheroo taking him off Razors and putting him on Amur but I think he'd had the last laugh there.

"Razors was unlucky and should have been in the money but this is a talented horse and I thought he could run a race for Jimmy if he could get him out wide."

Winning Jockey: James Orman

On the jockey switch: "Not me. I didn't know anything about that. That was all my manager but it worked out good and we got on the right one in the end.

"It is good to put these colours and a ride a winner.

On the track: "Looking at the way the first few races have played it looks like they were swooping off the speed a little coming off the fence.

"We wanted to be midfield early but I could sum that up early that I wasn't going to be midfield in a spot so I had to come back and get cover. Got a nice run and he did the rest for me."
