Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 2 $300,000 Darley Furious Stakes (1200m) at Royal Randwick.
Jason Collett (Manaal): “I gave her a nice hit out on Tuesday on the grass and I knew the fitness was right and you know, got into her late.
“She still gets a bit antsy going out onto the track, but then she goes to the start like a lamb, so, it's a complete contrast.
“She was in the gates first, she handled that well enough, she was cleanly away and able to get into a good spot, nice win.”

James McDonald (Ameena): “She was super, really brave. She gave me everything she had.”
Tommy Berry (Lazzura): “Really big run from her today. We rode her a pair closer than we usually would due to the pattern of the day so far. She was the first one on the scene and beaten by two horses, two very smart fillies that had already had the run under their belts. A good preparation ahead.”
Craig Williams (El Morzillo): “Really pleased with her performance. She was a bit fresh in the gates today. She was hesitant out and found herself back. I followed up the back of James, and then followed the eventual winner. Those two horses had had the run under their belts. Now she has so she is in for a nice preparation.”
Tim Clark (Too Darn Lizzie): “She ran well first up. A few of the others had had the benefit of a run. She wasn’t beaten too far.”
Tyler Schiller (More Territories): “Fantastic run first up. I think she is going to be better up to the 14[00] but she was not far away today.”
Rachel King (Zeitung): “She ran a super race again. She is crying out for that little bit further now.”
Reece Jones (Winning Proposal): “Just needed that run under her belt today. 1100m bold of me to assume she goes close today. Just out on her feet late.”
Molly Bourke (Photographics): “She is still needing to go through her grades and learning but still ran well.”
Chad Schofield (Shohisha): “Obviously it was a big step up in grade for her since her midweek win. I thought she handled herself well. She ran last but I think she might be up to them.”
Dylan Gibbons (Trafalgar Square): “Big step up in grade but I thought she handled herself well.”
