POSITION | HORSE | JOCKEY | COMMENT |
1st | RAGHU | Michael McNab | He won really well. He is a horse with a lot of ability and still has a lot to learn. He did the job today and I think he still has a lot to learn. |
2nd | IT'S BEN AGAIN | Opie Bosson | It was a good run. He just run away from the other horse and my stick got whacked out of my hand which didn't help. |
3rd | TAVAGO | Blake Shinn | It was a great run. He hit the line full of running.We hit some interference at the 200m which I think cost him the race but going forward he is a very exciting stayer in the making. |
4th | NO MORE TEARS | Michael Coleman | Yeah it was a good run. We came out to challenge just as they straightened.We got a bit of a bump as we straightened which may have cost him finishing closer. |
5th | THUNDER DOWN UNDER | Leith Innes | He travelled up really well and it's just been a sprint home and he's probably just looking for 2000m. |
6th | BRIGHTON | Rosie Myers | He just raced too fierce over the mile. Nigel will either take the blinkers off or drop back in trip. |
7th | DE CHINE | Mark Du Plessis | It was a great run from a maiden - we ended up in a lovely spot. Side winkers will only help. |
8th | SCRUTINIZE | Matt Cameron | He was a little bit disappointing - he didn't travel that well. He's probably feeling the track a little. I just had to niggle at him the whole way. I think with a bit of cut in the ground and blinkers it will help him. |
9th | MISTRAHMA | Michelle Payne | She ran well. We settled back off a slow speed and she worked through the line really nicely.Over a bit further she should run better. |
10th | PERFECT HARMONEE | Cameron Lammas | It wasn't a bad run first time right-handed. We just got caught wide from the bad draw. He just run off on the corner a little bit but ran on. I think a little rain would help and possibly a little spell. |
11th | PACQUIAO | Craig Grylls | We got caught deep but had cover the whole race. With her still being a maidener it might have been a little rich for her. I was under pressure from the 700m onwards. When he gets back to his own grade he will be a handy little horse. |
12th | SELFIE | Jason Collett | He raced a bit keenly, but I don't feel he saw out the mile very strongly. |
Last | GIRLSAREBACKINTOWN | Danielle Johnson | She doesn't like a firm track and she has ran accordingly. |
