Winning Trainer: Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr
"It was good to get a win for a bigger stable like them.
"We had everything go our way today. We got left alone in front. The pressure did come on a bit earlier than I expected but he was really tough through the line."
Was she expecting more competition for the early lead: "Yes I was, actually. I thought I got it pretty easy."
Her good form at Moonee Valley: "It is good to keep the ball rolling."
Spent time with the girl pony riders earlier: "It is actually a really nice opportunity for them. I wish I did that when I was younger and I'm sure they enjoy it."
Winning Jockey: Celine Gaudray
On the ride: "Mini Jamie Kah, I reckon. She'e a really good ride. She rode it beautifully. He's not an easy ride for an apprentice because he's quite keen and we're aware that Jordan Childs (Teofilo Star) might come across and test her a little bit, but she rated him beautifully and he hung on."
On the run: "It was a good effort for a horse second-up at 2000 (metres) to hold that pressure and he's been a good purchase by the team because he came across as a five start maiden and (now) he's won three from six in Australia, so he's done a good job."
Where to: "He's very progressive winning three from six so there's no reason why he can't keep winning.
"He needs to improve, of course, but second up tonight and I think if he can get it further as well, he'll have his chance.
"He carried a big weight and it was a good job by the team tonight.
"Ultimately we just won a benchmark 64 so we'll keep a lid on things and hope for the best."
