1st

DEPLOY

Joshua Parr

I was confident. He is in fantastic form at the moment and the stable has him absolutely flying. I'm pleased to get on him today. What a pleasure it is to ride these horses that are going so well. It is a great job. We can often take it for granted.

2nd

EGG TART

Kerrin McEvoy

I was really pleased with her today. The leader was up and rolling and we were back off it so mathematically we couldn't make up the ground. But she's given me a good feel at what is well short of her best trip.

3rd

EURO ANGEL (NZ)

Brenton Avdulla

She was terrific. She is coming out nice and relaxed and you can actually ride a race on her. She's settling and she found the line well. I think she's going to win a nice race.

4th

DIXIE BLOSSOMS

Corey Brown

She ran good considering the speed was solid the whole way. Her being first-up, they strung out, she had to chase a long way from home and she whacked away good. She will improve heaps.

5th

CANNYESCENT

Tim Clark

He had a nice run but just the way the race was run he had to sustain a long run and I think he prefers to be held up with a short sprint at them but he ran ok.

6th

GOOD PROJECT

Hugh Bowman

That was a good even run. He's not quite up to the sharpness of these level of horses but I thought it was a good first-up run.

7th

MIGHTY LUCKY

Chris O'Brien

It's gone good. The short trip didn't really suit him. A bit further next start and a little of rain wouldn't hurt him.
