Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 2 $500,000 Bowermans Commercial Furniture Shorts (1100m) at Randwick.
Nash Rawiller (Eduardo): “I never thought I was a chance until the 100m. It was a great effort by Joe to get him here today to be able to have a run like that with four weeks in mind. It was a bloody good training effort and the horse was just magnificent over the last 100m, very strong.”
“We’ve always felt 1200m was going to be good. The thing is he can relax now. With this shifty track I was pretty happy to make them run a bit early.
“He's better than ever. Before I beat Nature Strip here last time that he could be right in the race and probably did the wrong thing jumping off him last year but he’s a different horse now. He’s the furnished product and the real deal."
What a rehearsal for the #TABEverest !

James McDonald (Nature Strip): “Super run. Really happy with him.”
Jason Collett (Gytrash): “Chased the speed. Stayed in and it got a bit tight late.”
Josh Parr (Masked Crusader): “They went very fast. He was a long way off them but nice improvement to come.”
Tim Clark (Rothfire): “I was rapt with that performance from Rothfire. He hadn’t had a run for a long time. The track is deteriorating. Obviously there was plenty of pressure on so he can only improve off it.”
Hugh Bowman (Lost And Running): “Difficult run which cost me.”
Rachel King (Handle The Truth): “Huge run. He’s ready for the Kosciuszko.”
Robbie Dolan (Adelong): “She has gone really well. If she can just get into a race where she can win she will be very competitive. She’s gone great.”
