1st - Stunin Cullen: “He got a beautiful run in transit and he’s a lovely horse when he gets that sort of sit. He’s really stepped up this season. It’s not easy up here with the big boys so tonight was a really great effort.” - Anthony Butt, Driver

2nd - Smiling Shard: “He’s only a four-year-old, so he’s still another year away from being a real open-class horse, but we were actually rapt with the run.” Dexter Dunn, Driver

3rd - Im Themightyquinn: “He just got too far back, but got home terrific. It was a hard race to win when they went so slow, but it was a great run in defeat. I would hate to know what he ran (his last 800m in). Three-wide and three-back I win, three-wide and four-back I don’t - that’s just the difference.” Nathan Jack, Driver

4th - Village Of Dreams: “He had a good run in transit and couldn’t be happier really.” Gavin Lang, Driver

5th - Karloo Mick: “He went really good. He had a really good trip, but just got held up momentarily round the corner and he finished off well. I thought his run was terrific.” Greg Bennett, Driver

6th - Villagem: “He went well I thought. We had the right run into the race, just got swashed over the line, but he went all right.” Lisa Miles, Trainer/Driver

7th - Power Of Tara: “He missed away, went sideways a bit instead of forward. John thought the front was there, but we never got the front, so he’s gone massive. It was a gallant run, very happy with the horse.” Brendon Hill, Trainer

8th - Our Chain Of Command: “Very happy with him, he was only probably a length and a half from the winner, so he did a super job.” Chris Alford, Driver

9th - Make Mine Cullen: “She had a good run, but couldn’t finish. (She’ll) go back to mares’ grade and kick their bum.” Daryl Douglas, Driver

10th - Christian Melody: “It was an honour for the mare just to be in the race and she acquitted herself quite OK.” Jodi Quinlan, Driver

11th - Mister Swinger: “He was up against it to start with but once he missed away it made the job near impossible. He probably battled on all right from where he was.” Greg Sugars, Driver

12th - Georgetown: “He missed away and raced really good afterwards. I had a ton of horse at the top of the lane, but the race was gone after he missed away.” Michael Langdon, Trainer/Driver

13th - Karlsruhe: “When they sprinted at the 600m they were just a bit fast for him.” Luke McCarthy, Driver

14th - The Sleepy Tripp: “Very disappointing really. He was following Im Themightyquinn, but he was had it at about the quarter.” Mark Purdon, Trainer/Driver
