Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 2 $300,000 Petaluma Reisling Stakes (1200m) at Royal Randwick.
James McDonald (Tempted): “Yeah, she was really good. She's a proper genuine chance in two weeks' time for sure.
“I thought I was going to see the outside fence for a little bit, I was getting shunted a little bit.
“She's a professional, she's very similar to her mum. Her mum was a little rocket, but she's got a better head on her shoulders, so that’ll take her a long way.”

Jason Collett (Marhoona): “Fantastic run. May have gotten a bit lost once she hit the front but she’s gone with that winner after doing it at both ends.”
Tommy Berry (Inkaruna): “Lovely run by her. She is a beautiful filly. Still furnishing. Ended up a pair further back than I wanted to be today. She came off the back of the favourite and when it put her to the sword, she probably peaked at the 50m. She will improve again from that.”
Chad Schofield (Bel Merci): “Once we had the lead I just needed her to come back a stride and take a breath but she didn’t quite do that. Did too much in the first half of the race.”
Kyle Wilson-Taylor (Dushenka): “She was good. Still a bit new in amongst them at only her second start. Probably looking for further. Put her away now.”
Kerrin McEvoy (Wisnierska): No comment
Adam Hyeronimus (Tupakara): “Very nice filly. She is definitely up to this grade. Will be better once she steps out over distance. When she strengthens up as a 3yo, she will be a very nice filly.”
Jay Ford (Savvy Hallie): “Really good. Didn’t show enough speed from the gates so I rode her quietly. She closed off nicely.”
Josh Parr (Perle De Chocolat): “Unfortunately she performed less than our expectations.”
Nash Rawiller (Lady Pankhurst): “She was good. Very professional. Put herself into a lovely spot. Gave a good kick. Probably feels 6 months away. Still a great effort. I don’t know if she gets another chance to get into the Slipper but she has a bit of class.”
Tim Clark (Nullarbor Jane): “Just found having to absorb all that pressure on speed having first start in a race just all a bit too much for her.”
