On whether she heads to the Thousand Guineas: “That’s always been the plan when came over, job done today and we’ll see how she comes through it.
On whether she might get to a Wakeful Stakes, VRC Oaks: “There’s a lot of water to go under the bridge, that would be nice, but she’s a Group 2 winner now in Australia which is great.
Winning Jockey: Damian Lane
On the key to today’s win: “The blinkers (going on) really helped travel a little bit better, helped her corner a bit better and ultimately she was able to perform better.”
On whether she can turn the tables on Boogie Dancer: “On that day (last start) you thought we’ve got a little bit to find on Boogie Dancer, so hopefully we’ve found a little bit more now and we get a good track and it evens the playing field.”
