Winning Trainer: Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr (Mick Price speaking)
"Most of Sheamus' have a price tag on them but, black-type beautiful.
"I would think from Ballarat to hear she has definitely improved physically and well. Hopefully she improves a little bit again. We'll just keep her ticking and I think the Red Roses down the straight will be a nice little race for her. She's on the way up."
Instructions: "D Lane doesn't appreciate my instructions which I did say to him before the race. I said, 'your instructions are better than mine'.
"He said he'll be off the fence, off the speed and if they don't take it up he'll take it up.
"Very good rider. Everyone knows so we're happy and a filly on the up and up."
Winning Jockey: Damian Lane
"I've had a bit of luck with the guys and they've stuck with me on a few of the handy ones so it is nice to reward them with these good wins.
"What I was thinking on the line was that I wasn't quite sure. She's so green off the bridle still.
"I've always loved her from the first time I rode her back in the autumn in her trial and she was just nowhere near the finished product under pressure.
"She really loses her action at times and did enough to win again today but she's going to be a lovely filly in another prep's time.
What has taken her this far so quickly: "Natural ability. Also her ability to put herself in the race early. I think those two things have taken her as far this quickly this time around."
