Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 3 $175,000 Bowermans Pago Pago Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill Gardens.
Tim Clark (Rise Of The Masses): “I was always confident that my bloke was going to be strongest out of the two late. That proved to be correct over the last little bit. He really knuckled down. I just think that we still haven’t seen the best of him.
“No doubts he still gets a bit lost and waits for them a little bit. I think if he happens to get into a race where they go really fast and he actually doesn’t have to lead, with one to chase, he will be better.
“He’s definitely continued to learn and put it together all preparation. Hopefully he’s peaking at the right time.
“I think they are a very even bunch so probably doesn’t have to improve a lot (for the Slipper). Gai has won plenty of them so she knows what she is doing. I won’t question her. Hopefully he turns up in good order next week.”

Jean Van Overmeire (Sweet Ride): “Ran super. Tries his absolute heart out. Has done very well.”
William Pike (Magic): “Good effort.”
Brett Prebble (Wealthy Investor): “Not good enough.”
Brenton Avdulla (Williamsburg): “He went great. Draws a gate probably wins.”
Regan Bayliss (Nipotino): “Nice horse. Just come up a bit soon for him.”
Jason Collett (Peace Officer): “Over-raced early. Didn’t finish it off.”
Glyn Schofield (Kote): “Still racing greenly in a very slowly run race. Made good ground in the straight.”
