Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the G2 $300,000 Polytrack Roman Consul Stakes (1200m) at Randwick.

James McDonald (Paulele): “He would be hard to beat [in an Everest] that is for sure. He’s a lovely horse. I’ve always touted him as one. I thought he should have won last start. Just how the race was run, the leader got away with cheap sectionals, dashed away on firm ground but today back to Randwick, where he’s able to wind up, he’s put in some good splits.”

"He’s strong. Never feels like he’s ever going to lay down. Got a good constitution and the harder the race I feel the better he’ll go. That has been evident in the last couple of starts when he’s been beaten, it’s just been circumstantial because of how it was run but they won’t be going slow in The Everest.”

Tim Clark (Sword Of State): “Had a good run. Travelled pretty strong but just doesn’t quite have the turn of foot against that class of horse.”

Nash Rawiller (O'President): “Tons of ability. Didn’t want to show it today.”

Tommy Berry (Gleneagles): “Great run by him. Winner was a bit sharp for us. There’s a 1300m in a couple of week’s time that will suit him perfectly.”

Jason Collett (Tristate): “Hood on first time and overdid it. Overraced and failed to finish it.”

Kerrin McEvoy (King Of Sparta): “Just slow to begin. He’s run a nice race. Giving away a start is always hard.”

Josh Parr (Overpass): “Terrific effort. Was forced back from a bad barrier. He was taking good ground off them late.”

Glen Boss (Mimosas): No comment.

Rachel King (A Very Fine Red): “Really creditable run up in grade.”
