Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 2 $300,000 Darley Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m) at Royal Randwick.

“She moved well today, she was a nice filly when I rode her so it wasn't going to take much to improve her, really nice win today.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Silmarillion): "She ran well with improvement to come."

Jason Collett (Manaal): “Ran really well. Had a few more kilos than other runners and was first up too so there is improvement which is good to come. Happy with the run.”

Mark Zahra (Erno's Cube): “She ran super. Good return. Obviously had to go back from the wide draw. Strong late and should be in for a good prep.”

Rachel King (Chateau Miraval): “She got a nice comfortable lead. Just a little bit one-paced to the line. Plenty of improvement there.”

Dylan Gibbons (Miss Busslinger): “She just jumped too well. So she was ridden upside down and we probably didn’t get to see how well she was finishing off. I wasn’t discouraged with her.”

Tim Clark (Hallett): “Just over-raced a bit within herself. Left herself a bit vulnerable late.”

Zac Lloyd (Zeitung): “Fantastic run. Good to see her prove herself in this grade. I think if she drew a barrier she’d have been right in the finish.”

Tyler Schiller (Sakima): “I thought she did a great job. She settled in a more handy spot today. Going up in trip will only help her. I think maybe even a softer track will help too.”

Molly Bourke (Photographics): “Super run today. She was very unlucky throughout the race.”

Chad Schofield (Trafalgar Square): “She got back. Travelled well. Was always on the inside of the track. She ran ok.”

Tommy Berry (Bauhinia): “Couldn’t speak highly enough of this filly. She is a lovely filly. A very muddling run race and she got keen in the mid-stages. It’s only her first prep. We had to go back into probably the inferior ground on the day. She had motored home and only been beaten a couple of lengths by a horse like Manaal. Pretty exciting for next preparation.”
