Winning Trainer: Leon & Troy Corstens (rep by Will Larkin)
"Probably the perfect start. We came here thinking the 1200 (metres) might be a bit short as he'd want to stretch out but he's a good horse still working it out and he put it all together today.
"He's got a great pedigree. He's after a couple of Group 1 stakes-placed horses, and he's a colt, so it is good to get these things on the way through with bigger things to come."
Winning Jockey: Blake Shinn
"He's a beautiful horse. Well sorted out by Troy and Leon. I'm just delighted for Troy and the team. He is quite valuable, he's got a great page on him, and to get that stakes win and hopefully we're onwards to bigger things from today.
"(I was) very confident that this horse was smart. I jumped him out prior to his first start and I had quite an opinion of him. He's run well both times, he's got a great character about him, great physical.
"The bloodlines are there, he's got Criterion on his page and I always thought he'd be a nice three-year-old miler so to do what he is doing now are only good signs for the future.
Right attitude: "He's had that from day one since I got on him and he's such a placid horse and no doubt when he gets to 1400 and a mile he'll be better."
