1st

MENARI

Joshua Parr

Look at the size of the horse. It is just phenomenal to ride an animal like this. His turn of foot is second to none. I banged him up outside of the leader simply because of the draw. I had to make a decision. I couldn't come out half-hearted and linger around at the risk of being posted wide so I decided to go forward.

2nd

PARIAH

Blake Shinn

He ran really well, had a lovely run behind the winner. Travelled beautifully, just maybe the weight swing, Menari had 1kg difference, in saying that full credit to the winner he was too good on the day, but level weights at 1400m in the Golden Rose, it's going to be an exciting race.

3rd

PERAST

Adam Hyeronimus

Respectable run he went well, probably just had to a little bit too much work early and that told in the finish. He's run a very good race, if I had my time again I would still drive him out, he's a cheeky bugger but he's taking the right steps.

4th

KEMENTARI

Kerrin McEvoy

I was just guided by how he jumped and had a decision to make as to whether I went forward or came back and get some cover. Chose the latter and then we were just sort of back and out of the race. Couldn't have done much more, no doubt he's going to be suited by 1400m and further. It was a pleasing first-up run.

5th

SHOGUN SUN

Christian Reith

Really good run, he was just a little bit slow into stride today. Probably cost him a few lengths, but I thought he was really strong late. Really nice horse, just needs to do a bit of maturing. If they can get him in I wouldn't be afraid of running him in the Rose.

6th

CHAUFFEUR

Brenton Avdulla

Happy with him, bit brighter today raced a bit more freshly, it's just a track where it's hard to run down the leaders, but I'm happy with him going to 1400m.

7th

INVADER

Hugh Bowman

Just a bit too fast for him, the pace was too strong and he'll be more suited when gets over a little bit further.

8th

DIAMOND TATHAGATA

Corey Brown

Little bit firm for my bloke today.

9th

TANGLED

Tye Angland

He needed that today, he travelled well but when they let down they were a bit strong for him.
