COMMENT

1st

HUMIDOR

DAMIAN LANE

He lobbed along out the back and he travelled up underneath me turning for home. I thought I was the winner a long way out. He's come such a long way since he came into the stable.

2nd

HARTNELL

KERRIN MCEVOY

Travelled nicely throughout and I was expecting a better finish. He finished off OK but the winner showed more dash than me today.

3rd

BLACK HEART BART

BRAD RAWILLER

Outstanding run. From three-wide and no cover, jeez he was gallant. Humidor was terrific but my bloke had Hartnell and the run just peaked 50(m) out.

4th

GAILO CHOP

MARK ZAHRA

He ran super. He box-seated and he's better suited when the tempo is more genuine. He had to wait and get a clear split. The winner was outstanding but he was just as good.

5th

SINGLE GAZE

KATHY O'HARA

Top run from her. She's right on track for later on.

6th

VENTURA STORM

REGAN BAYLISS

He's going to be a force to be reckoned with once he gets out to his right trip.

7th

TAVAGO

DAMIEN OLIVER

It was a good first-up run. If he gets into a handicap with a bit of sting out of the ground, he'll run well.

8th

JON SNOW

STEPHEN BASTER

He ran really well. He was a little but tight back there in behind them and didn't really appreciate that but he ran on well. Once he gets over 2000(m), look out.

9th

INFERENCE

DWAYNE DUNN

He ran well but he's probably better suited in a handicap. The further he goes, the better he's going to get.

10th

HEY DOC

LUKE CURRIE

He was too keen.

11th

LE ROMAIN

BEN MELHAM

Really out of character for him because he's such a genuine horse. Travelled well to the corner but when I pulled him out, he was a beaten horse straight away.

12th

SEABURGE

CRAIG WILLIAMS

He was really disappointing in the run and gave me nothing throughout. He pulled up fine but it will be interesting to see when he cools down.
