Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 2 $300,000 Toyota Forklifts Missile Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill Gardens.
Tim Clark (I Am Me): "She got a bit of control through the middle stages and with that weight on her back being a mare of that quality, she was always going to be hard to run down.
“I was just able to do enough [to hold the lead] without firing her up and once we got on the circle she came back and got control.
“Once she got control, she was always going to be hard to beat.”

Tom Sherry (Dragonstone): “Terrific. Career best effort. He relished the wet track today.”
Ryan Maloney (Deepour): “Hit the line really well. A little bit stiff not to finish a bit closer. Just couldn’t get out when I needed to.”
Regan Bayliss (Argentia): “She ran enormous. She is in for a great prep.”
James McDonald (Golden Mile): “A non-event. Was travelling well. Never been so close to coming down and not coming down.”
Zac Lloyd (Ingratiating): “Ran well. It was quite a sedate speed. I was out the back and didn’t have much chance. He’s hit the line nicely.”
Jason Collett (Rocketing By): “Obviously copped the backwash.”
Adam Hyeronimus (Fender): “I thought he ran fantastic. Just raced wide on the speed, no cover. Did a good job off a long layoff.”
Tyler Schiller (Wewillrock): “I thought he was good today. He had a little bit of a tough ride, three deep but I thought he braved it out to the line.”
