James Mcdonald (I Am Me): "She's quality and she just wears a heart on her sleeve.

"She always felt in control of the race and even from a furlong from home, I felt like I was always going to win, even though they were so close.

"She's just doing enough, enough, enough. She's won the first two lead-ups to the great race, so she's ticking a lot of boxes.

"She should be fine (at 1200m) because now she's adaptable. I think I won on her over six furlongs and she won by the same sort of margin. So she does what she has to do, and she's a big broodmare who will run a tremendous race in a race like that."

Zac Lloyd (Stefi Magnetica): "Geesh…She proved a couple of doubters wrong there. She has gone half a stride from winning from the back. 1100m which wasn't suitable for her. She was at her top for the majority of the first two furlongs. She has rattled home like that so six furlongs will be right up her alley."

Jason Collett (Mazu): "Great run. Obviously more effective on softer ground first up in this company was very good."

Jay Ford (Private Eye): "He is going well. He ran on really well again. He just couldn't travel in the middle parts and was always under a ride and losing ground from the 8[00] to the 4[00] and closed off well but the task became too great."

Kerrin Mcevoy (Aft Cabin): "He travelled well. Just didn't round the race off as well as I would have liked."

Tim Clark (Lady Of Camelot): "I thought under the circumstances her run still had good merit to it. She has just lost a little bit of that early speed. I think she is still going OK."

Regan Bayliss (Coal Crusher): "He will get better as he gets over a bit further."

Reece Jones (Dragonstone): "Tremendous. He has absolutely run out of his skin. With a little bit more even luck he might have found himself in the finish."

Dylan Gibbons (Our Kobison): "He has run as good as he can. They were a little bit too classy for him today."

Rachel King  (Way To The Stars): "He tried really hard. Just the Randwick 1100m probably sees him out."

Tommy Berry (Mumbai Muse): "Another really good run from her on the back up. Something like the Sydney Stakes would be a lovely race for her. She is in good order."
