Winning Trainer: Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young (Natalie speaking)

"I think he's a horse that loves the three weeks between runs. We haven't done a lot with him. He's a horse that at home he ties up a lot. We've got to swim him before he works and he does get you thinking a bit.

"He has a 200-metre sprint and Currie was caught up there but he got out and he used it."

Next: "There's probably another version of this race at Bendigo, He'll get another five points (rating) and he'll be suited to that."

Winning Jockey: Luke Currie

"He'd been running well prior to his last run and Trent and Nat decided to freshen him up and that worked today.

"I knew that he's a horse that once he got a bit of room he'd quicken and he's only got a short, shart sprint and he need to be held up (for that).

"He's quite brave. He's able to shoulder his way into room and then he ran through the line.

"Last time he was a bit disappointing and we put that down to the racing and that is why Trent and NAtalie freshened him up.

"Before that he had been racing well and horses that run like him will have good luck and bad luck."
