Missrock finished strongly to win Saturday's Listed Carlyon Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley.
Missrock ($7) finished too well for longtime leader Heatherly ($2.15) to score by a neck with Lady Esprit ($41) a further 1 1/2-lengths away in third.
This is what the jockeys thought of the performance of their ride in the Carlyon Stakes.

I was pretty happy when we landed on the back of Heatherly and she relaxed for me. She gave me a good kick and I thought I was going to run a good second but she really dug in for me. It was good win. |

She ran well, probably like a horse that needed the run. |

LADY ESPRIT |
Craig Williams |
Delighted with her run - she had the right run, we followed the winner and got the run in the straight and she got the stakes placing so owners are happy. |

Got a long way back but he ran really good. |

His run was pretty good considering it was hard run all the way - he was at his top chasing all the way. |

Went super, he probably needs it a bit wetter. |

They were just a bit too good for her today. |

SUNDAY ESCAPE |

The barrier didn't help. The first three around the corner were the first three home but it's been like that all day. |

Craig Newitt |
Just fair. I thought he might find the line a bit better than he did but nothing has been able to make ground all day. Softer track would have helped him too. |

She was out of her comfort zone which is unlike her at 1000m. They were a bit slick for her first-up but I'd have still liked to see her do a little bit more. |

I think he's being retired. |
