1st: WELLINGTON – Ryan Moore
“He’s a very good horse. I was very pleased to get the ride. It more or less went to plan. I was able to get a bit of cover in midfield and the pace was steady. I got there a bit too early to be honest but he’s an intelligent horse and a pleasure to ride.”
2nd: SIGHT SUCCESS – Christophe Lemaire
“He travelled sweetly in the lead and held on well. He ran a great race.”
3rd: SKY FIELD – Blake Shinn
“He was huge. We followed the winner, couldn’t quite match him but he ran his heart out. It was an excellent performance.”
4th: COURIER WONDER– Luke Currie
“He ran great.”
5th: MEIKEI YELL – James McDonald
“She ran really great.”
6th: LUCKY SWEYNESSE – Zac Purton
“Wrong gate. I said to Manfred (Man) after the draw, we’re going to get stuck on the fence from there and not get out.”
7th: CORDYCEPS SIX – Silvestre De Sousa
“He ran a good race and the gate didn’t help but he finished well.”
8th: SUPER WEALTHY – Vincent Ho
“He ran well. I got blocked a little bit by Courier Wonder but it was the best I could do.”
9th: STRONGER – Hugh Bowman
“He jumped well and travelled well in a good position. He had every chance.”
10th: NARAN HULEG – Kyosuke Maruta
“He jumped well and traveled with good rhythm until the mid stage of the race but he was struggling to show his late kick.”
11th: DUKE WAI – Harry Bentley
“He was a little bit disappointing. We were always going to be out the back from a bad draw. He didn’t travel quite as well as normal but he finished his race good nonetheless.”
12th: GENDARME – Damian Lane
“He didn’t step well and then found himself in a very awkward spot and couldn’t unleash his sprint.”
13th: RESISTENCIA – Joao Moreira
“She wasn’t able to produce her best against horses in their home turf.”
14th: LIM’S KOSCIUSZKO – Danny Beasley
“Had every chance. I guess we found the Singapore from just wasn’t good enough.”
