Winning Trainer: James Cummings (foreman Sean Keogh speaking)
On the filly: "We felt like she was a filly who could win a Stakes race at some stage through her career and today was the day."
"You've got to get out there and do it against these hardened type of fillies. Stepping from a maiden to benchmark grade to where she is has served us really well.
"Good from the team to send her interstate and win a Group race like this."
Winning Jockey: Craig Newitt
On the filly: "She's a lovely filly, she's obviously been well-schooled and she's got really good gate speed for a big, leggy thing.
"From an inside gate we were always going to be positive and work it out. Willie's horse got a little bit keen mid-race but she was just so relaxed inside travelling on a long rein and once she sort of wobbled around the corner a little bit she was really strong through the line."
On how far she can go: "You never know where they end up in this camp, they can go to extreme heights.
"She's lightly-raced, she's got a fair bit of scope to improve and I'm sure she's going to win plenty more races."
