1st

OVERSHARE

Dwayne Dunn

He got his way today and then was able to kick off the front - it was a good effort and job done.

2nd

BANDIPUR

Craig Williams

He ran really well. It was another step up in grade for him today and he acquitted himself well, the winner was just too big and strong.

3rd

SUNQUEST

Regan Bayliss

Looking forward to getting him over a mile - he'll win a big race one day.

4th

AZAZEL

Luke Currie

He's still a colt and he wasn't too happy cluttered up with them and wanted to get his head up a bit. He hit the line well enough and happy with the effort under the circumstances.

5th

AL PASSEM

Ben Thompson

He went super off just the one trial before today. He'll be better stepping up in trip.

6th

FRANKEL MY DEAR

Brandon Stockdale

He's a nice horse in the making and is going to be better over further. He was against some smart sprinters today and he'll improve.

7th

TYCOON DANCER

Luke Nolen

He ran ok for this grade. A set of winkers might help him going forward.

8th

LONE EAGLE

Ben Melham

He ran well. He got a bad check down the side and that put him out of business - he did a good job to finish where he did.

9th

MURAAQEB

Michael Walker

I'm not sure - at face value he was disappointing.

10th

CAO CAO

Mark Zahra

I think he needs gelding.

Last

SIRCCONI

Linda Meech

He resented having to go back from the wide gate but he's well and I don't think there's anything wrong with him.
