Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 2 $250,000 Irresistible Pools Sheraco Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill Gardens.
Rachel King (Shades Of Rose): “She is a superstar. She keeps getting better. She’s had a long preparation but keeps stepping up. I’ve sat on her every week at home and even her gallops at home she is getting better and better.”
“I didn’t want to look at the screen. Luckily she tries so hard. She really stuck her head out because she has an amazing will to win and that will take her a long way.”

Jason Collett (Startantes): “She worked all the way to the end.”
Chad Schofield (Electric Girl): “We trailed the winner. They dropped us as the 400m, really quickened a lot better than I did but to my filly’s credit she worked it back down and just missed.”
Hugh Bowman (Palaisipan): “Fantastic run.”
Andrew Adkins (Fituese): “She ran an honest race.”
James McDonald (Espiona): “A bit of a head scratcher. She was there to produce a really good finish like she can but she failed to let go for some reason. I thought she was going to be there for me but she wasn’t.”
Sam Clipperton (Tycoon Evie): “I thought she ran quite well. I just had no luck posted wide but she stuck on to the furlong then got tired. Improvement to come.”
William Pike (My Whisper): “She was really good. Her sectionals will be as good as any in the race.”
Kerrin McEvoy (It's Me): “Really good run by her. She held her own in that company. I had to dart back to the inside to get a run and never really got clear until it was all over.”
Regan Bayliss (Pippali): “She has come back in good order. Probably just needed the run.”
Tyler Schiller (Sky Command): “Very brave. First time to 1200m in that class.”
Tom Sherry (Sneaky Paige): “Ran well. She passed the 1200m mark which was a bonus.”
