Winning Trainer: Nick Ryan
"We've had a very high opinion of her from her first prep in Australia and, geez, she was impressive.
"Blake rode her very confidently and she's just got s scintillating turn-of-foot and I just can't wait to get her out in trip and get her into some better races.
"We've got plans for her but it is good to see her come here and do that.
"She's been a work-in-progress and we took our time once she got off the plane from Ireland. We've really looked after her and they say if you have the patience you'll get rewarded and she's rewarding us."
"She's a longer term prospect. We're going to sit down and have a think about it but she's won a benchmark 70 tonight but obviously we know how good she is.
"Her mother had her first start over 2000 metres or something like that but getting her out in trip is something and I think she's going to enjoy getting her toe in the ground.
"She's going to be a very good mare."
Winning Jockey: Blake Shinn
"I think she's one of the more exciting horses to come into his yard. She's just a very good horse in the making.
"A great turn-of-foot and I think she'll stay and has returned a bit better than last prep and it is great to see her put them away second-up here tonight."
On the run: "She wasn't really traveling much throughout the run and I know the pace suited me but some horses you like them to come underneath you and she is one that sort of idles off the bridle.
"When they bunched down the side and I thought it's time to take advantage of that and stoke her up.
"And we know that she's got a bit of stamina on her side so we got around them on the turn, cut the corner a little bit but she did a good job. She was strong to the line."
