Winning Trainer: Melissa Kelly

Good ride: "Justin is a fantastic rider so I'm always happy to put him on my horses. I think he deserves more opportunities in town. 

A lot of hard work has gone into this horse: "Yes he's been a work in progress. He's had his issues so we haven't been able to gallop him too much, we've done plenty of swimming with him and given him a nice easy time of it, which has paid dividends. He's off to the paddock now, so hopefully he can have a nice break and we can have even more luck with him next prep." 

Winning Jockey: Justin Stanley

"He won well at Warwick and stepped up to the city at Eagle Farm the other day, and he probably threw the race away after ducking in on me. Even today he still wanted to do a little bit wrong, but he's definitely got a lot of ability and I think they're going to have a lot of fun with him."

"He was sold to Hong Kong and won a couple of races over there, so it's obvious that he has some ability. He came back and not a lot of horses are able to win many races when they do, but he's managed to do that so I think he'll be in for a good prep and I'm pretty confident it won't be his last win over here."

Good to get on horses like this: "Yes absolutely. I'm based in Rocky but I'm happy to ride anywhere. I've had a pretty good carnival overall, with Chinny Boom and now this bloke, so things are going well at the minute."
