1st – Win Bright – Masami Matsuoka
“He didn’t jump well from the gate but he gets a good spot. He ran very well all the way around.  He galloped very well on Wednesday morning, clocking a very fast time, so the record time wasn’t unexpected.  This is the very best day for me.”

2nd – Exultant – Zac Purton
“It was a very good run, a great effort.”

3rd – Lys Gracieux – Oisin Murphy
“A huge run from my filly and the winner got a very good ride.”

4th – Glorious Forever – Derek Leung
“He ran super. He switched off well for me but the winner was too good.”

5th – Pakistan Star – Matthew Chadwick
“A lovely run. He probably hit the front too soon and just idled a bit.”

6th – Deirdre – Yutaka Take
“She was in a good form today. Didn’t get gate speed today despite I want to get a more forward position.  She accelerated very well in the straight but it was same turn of foot as the winner.”

7th – Dark Dream – Tim Clark
“I had a nice run and he battled away ok.”

8th – Dinozzo – Vincent Ho
“He had a good position but was just a bit flat in the straight.”

9th – Eagle Way – Umberto Rispoli
“I’m a little bit disappointed. He tracked Exultant all the way but just didn’t give me the same kick as last time.”

10th – Furore – Hugh Bowman
“Too close.”

11th – Time Warp – Karis Teetan
“He had to make up ground on the outside to get handy and it seemed too much for him.”

12th – Waikuku – Joao Moreira
“He was disappointing. He was three wide and caught a check and couldn’t bring his best today.”

13th – Eminent – James McDonald
“He’s a tricky one and he’s got me beat. I don’t know how he could run so well first up in Australia and then put two ordinary performances like that in. It just feels like he’s not trying.”
