COMMENT

1st

Mighty Boss

Michael Walker

It was good to get him over the line. He relaxed beautiful and got the perfect run through. It panned out perfectly for us.

2nd

Kementari

Damian Lane

Super run. He just got there too soon and got lost.

3rd

Catchy

Mark Zahra

She ran well. I had a beautiful run in the race but I just think she doesn't run a mile. The last 100(m) she was left wanting.

4th

Royal Symphony

Dwayne Dunn

We'll put it down to the one that got away I think. He got checked into the bend and running into the straight it was a real messy race. The horse that didn't find any trouble back on the inside doing nothing was the winner. Just one of those races that the better horses were to the fore but the one that had the run in transit won.

5th

Perast

Ben Melham

I thought he ran really well in the circumstances. He got racing a bit in the higher pressure race today and he didn't make that first corner really well and it just took me 100m to get him to drop his head.

6th

Levendi

Anthony Darmanin

He ran super. He just got into bad luck coming into the straight and he came out again and ran on super. He's going places.

7th

Salsamor

Brad Rawiller

Creditable run. He got a fair way back and he didn't have the speed early and they made me run wide and he was a little bit unlucky but he's still on track going forward to the Derby.

8th

Sanctioned

Glyn Schofield

I think he ran creditably. He struggled this way around but he ran home well.

9th

Holy Snow

Michael Dee

He blended into the race really well and I thought he was going to finish off well but he just peaked on his run.

10th

Sircconi

Linda Meech

He jumped super out of the gates so I took the chance to come across but they came with me and we ended up running a good solid clip.

11th

Showtime

Damien Oliver

He just got a bit tight early and got a bit of a fright when he took on the running rail a bit. He was a little bit held up coming to the turn but I think because he over-raced a little bit, he wasn't quite as brilliant in the straight.

12th

The Mission

Beau Mertens

He just jumped slow from the gates and we wanted to be forward but they crossed us in the first 100m. We got three-deep with cover but he just got pulling too hard so I had to pop out. We just got pushed aronund coming into the straight.

13th

Gold Standard

Stephen Baster

He ran well. He's probably still a bit immature and he'll be a much better horse next time in.

14th

Al Passem

Ben Thompson

He was caught wide up on the pace without cover and he was the first one attacked by The Mission. He had a tough run.

15th

Azazel

Luke Currie

He really struggled today.
