We thought she'd win, it's great to win a Listed race and she's beautifully bred filly. We have no real plans for her, we'll either go for something similar or a Group 3. We may have to travel for that but that won't be a problem. Pat [Shanahan] gave her a great ride. This is our second time winning the race, we won it back in 2003 with Maharib and Pat was on board that day too.
