Winning Trainer: Anthony & Same Freedman (rep by David Crofts)
"He had a 5 f jump out at Caloundra the other day and was quite sharp so we've got the speed back into his legs."
<Also confirmed that next race outing will be The Q22>
Winning Jockey: Mark Zahra
"First time I've been on him (and) didn't know much about him. First time after a long break I wanted to be quiet (on him) early and he just went back and got a spot.
Pace: "The went good enough and needed luck in the straight and it opened up but his turn-of-foot was pretty good."
The Q22 next: "Anthony and Sam have taken their time with him to get him right. Went from looking like getting a to maybe finishing second to easing up on the line.
"It was a very good performance."
