1st: VOYAGE BUBBLE – James McDonald
“He’s a great horse in his own right. He felt excellent going to the gates today – he was really on the job. Credit to Ricky (Yiu) and his team – they’ve prepped him up beautifully. “He just gives his all. He has a very big heart and he’s very uncomplicated.”

2nd: SOUL RUSH – Joao Moreira
“It was a fantastic run, I just think he was beaten by the gate.”

3rd: BEAUTY JOY – Brenton Avdulla
“He ran terrific. He’s not easy to ride, he gives them a start but he closed off hard. He handled himself well.”

4th: BEAUTY ETERNAL – Zac Purton
“That was an improvement.”

5th: HAPPY TOGETHER – Alexis Badel
“It was a great run. He finished very well.”

6th: CHANCHENG GLORY – Karis Teetan
“I thought he ran an honest race. He had a beautiful spot and then in the home straight I was following the winner, but Voyage Bubble just put two lengths on us into the straight and he grinded through the line.”

7th: GALAXY PATCH – Vincent Ho
“He came across some interference a couple of times, but he ran well.”

8th: RED LION – Hugh Bowman
“He was much better today and he’s going to continue improving as the season progresses.”

9th: LAZZAT – Cristian Demuro 
“The track was a little bit firm for him, he’d prefer softer ground.”

10th: TAJ DRAGON – Andrea Atzeni 
“He probably just lacks a bit of class against these and a mile is probably a bit too far.”

11th: ANTINO – Blake Shinn
“He ran well. He just hit some interference at the 300m when Soul Rush ran around him.”

12th: DOCKLANDS – Mark Zahra
 “He travelled really well in the run but just didn’t come off the bridle when I needed him to.”

13th: JANTAR MANTAR – Yuga Kawada
“He was less happy here.”

14th: RAMADAN – Ryan Moore
