This time last year I was that dirty on the world because I believe that although she wasn't a mature horse she should have arguably won the race.

Digby said to me 'if you can catch him you can train him'.

She came into the race (last year) on a very light preparation and I wasn't actually able to train her for the race. I had to nurse her into the race and get her here as fit as I could on the day.

Just watching her last two runs, other horses have quickened around her a bit faster and I think the hood will help.

We've got some work to do, ... but we'll go back and do that and get ready for the next one.

We brought him back for the summer racing and we have stepped him up quickly in distance, we've kept him fresh and it has agreed with him.

I think she goes into tomorrow's race as a far better racehorse.

I also think she could be closer in the run because of the blinkers.

He was making ground on Primus in Sydney and wet or dry I think he will run well at Caulfield because he has won there.
