Winning Trainer: Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr (rep by Matt Norton)
On the win: "We were a little bit far out in the barrier, we were hoping to be a bit more in, at least she wasn't too far underdone before first-up but it was a good win, very well ridden by Blake and got the cash."
On the filly: "She placed a few times, she'd only had the one win, this will be her second, but I'd dare say we'll head to town with her next start."
Winning Jockey: Blake Shinn
On how the race panned out: "We had to go back probably two lengths further than I needed to just to obtain to some cover. I was hoping Jordy (Childs) would roll to the fence but he elected to stay off and that forced my hand to come back.
"We were first up, so I had to ride a little bit conservatively knowing that she was possibly in need of that run and was going to take a lot of improvement.
"She was going to win a lot easier than the end margin, but her run ended 75 (metres) out. I didn't want it any further, that's for sure."
On her development: "She's developed a hell of a lot this girl and it's great to see. I liked her from Day 1 when I trialled her and rode her her first start and she's a progressive horse and it's great to see her return really well today.
"I'm just rapt to ride another winner in these colours. Rob Crabtree (and I), we've had a bit of luck of late."
