1st - Maurice – Joao Moreira
"He was brilliant. He gave me so much confidence that he was going to get there any time that I was going to press the button."

2nd - Contentment – Brett Prebble
“He’s run super, he’s been beaten by a machine. He could’ve gone another 400 metres, the winner.”

3rd - Packing Pins – Gerald Mosse
“He’s a lovely horse – he has big potential. He was fighting to the line – I think the distance today was perfect. I swiAtched behind the first tow, he gave me a beautiful run and I’m very pleased.”

4th - Beauty Only – Neil Callan
“He’s run another solid race, probably against the best miler in the world. My draw was forcing me to be a little bit patient on him and I think with the way the track’s been riding today it’s a little bit of an on-pace track. They went good sections there and he’s made up a lot of ground, and he ran credibly but you can't give that start away to good horses like that. The draw probably cost him second.”

5th – Safety Check – James McDonald
“Maybe he’s just short of this level but he ran very well. Had a nice trip and finished the race off well.”

6th - Beauty Flame – Matthew Chadwick
“Nice run, he held on well after we worked to the lead and maybe the break between runs didn’t help.”

7th – Gun Pit – Vincent Ho
“He has run very well today to keep up with them in this class. I think in the future he can perform on the grass at 1800 to 2000 metres. He began well but I would like to have had him a bit closer in the run.”

8th - Giant Treasure – Olivier Peslier
“He had no speed early.”

9th - Rewarding Hero – Tommy Berry
“He was probably too close and he’s better with cover. I was happy to go forward but was hoping something would come around and give us some cover but nothing did.”

10th - Dundonnell – Nash Rawiller
“We had to go back from the wide gate and under the circumstances I thought he ran OK.”

11th – Secret Weapon – Tye Angland
“Had a tough trip from the draw and in the end that took it’s toll.”

12th - Bow Creek – Zac Purton?
“They went too slow for him.”
