1st – Beauty Generation – Zac Purton
“It’s what we expected him to do today. He was a little bit fitter. When he’s out in front like that mid-race and there’s nothing around pushing him, he just floats a little bit so my job was to try to keep him rolling a little bit and let him do the rest. It’s hard to say how much more he’s got there but he did his job and that’s all you can do.”

2nd – Singapore Sling – Karis Teetan
“This horse was super well and prepped very good. It’s the best he’s ever felt for me and he fought all the way up the straight. It’s just a shame that he has to run into one like Beauty Generation.”

3rd – Simply Brilliant – Oisin Murphy
“A good, solid run. I think the hood coming off helped him and he should do well next season.”

4th – Seasons Bloom – Hugh Bowman
“He ran his normal, honest race.”

5th – Rise High – James McDonald
“He feels like a mile and a quarter horse.”

6th – Romantic Touch – Matthew Chadwick
“He had a perfect position behind the winner but just couldn’t sprint with him.”

7th – Conte – Joao Moreira
“He was very disappointing and probably isn’t going as well as we thought he was.”
