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.

MISSROCK

Ben Melham

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.

2nd

HEATHERLY

Damian Lane

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

3rd

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.

4th

KEEN ARRAY

Mark Zahra

Got a long way back but he ran really good.

5th

EL DIVINO

Michael Dee

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

6th

JUNGLE EDGE

Kevin Forrester

Went super, he probably needs it a bit wetter.

7th

ONE MORE DAISY

Regan Bayliss

They were just a bit too good for her today.

8th

ORUJO

Stephen Baster

He ran ok in that class.

9th

SUNDAY ESCAPE

Dwayne Dunn

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

10th

O'MALLEY

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.

11th

PRUSSIAN VIXEN

Jake Noonan

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.

Last

GENERAL TRUCE

Noel Callow

I think he's being retired.
