Winning Jockey: Damien Oliver

"He's a nice promising horse getting in on the minimum weight. James Cummings and the Godolphin team have got a good knack of placing these horses well. That certainly was the case today.

This horse compared to other Godolphon sprinters Oliver has ridden lately: "He's probably a similar type. He's probably not to those two horses' level yet. He's on the way there, he's a nice up-and-coming horse and in these early handicaps before the really good ones (horse) come back, he's got a good rating so he'll be well-placed in those races."
