Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 2 $300,000 Darley Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) at Royal Randwick.

Zac Lloyd (Tiz Invincible): “It’s been a very character building day, but I’m very happy to have these opportunities with these very good horses. She was ultra impressive today, she’s done that easily.

“That’s the scary bit, she’s a bit fractious in the gates, she begin cleanly, you have to ask her and she’s usually a fraction on the bridle but today she was much better.

“It was a bit messy early, a bit of scrimmaging, but she handed herself very well and that accounted for that electric turn of foot that got me out of trouble.

“That was the telling factor today for the seven furlongs. I felt she conducted herself super and that gives me a lot of confidence stepping up to the flight stakes now. Obviously it’s up to the team, if she wants to go to the mile that gives me a lot of confidence that she’ll relax.”

Jason Collett (Kimochi): “She did well off a wide run. Finished it off strongly.”

Adam Hyeronimus (Tropical Squall): “It was probably the run that she needed against this grade stepping up. Very confident heading to the Flight Stakes.”

Kyle Wilson-Taylor (Miss Joelene): “We had to ride her a bit upside today. We drew awkward and thought we’d roll forward, there was an abundance of speed. She was left without cover outside the leader. She fired up but that is not the right way to ride her. She was much better than that.”

Regan Bayliss (Platinum Jubilee): “Tried to ride her a bit differently today. The stop, start tempo didn’t suit her but I reckon she is more of a sprinting filly. A little freshen up back to those sprinting trips will get her back to her best form.”

Sam Clipperton (Autumn Ballet): “Honest enough effort. Looking for a bit more cushion in the ground.”

Jean Van Overmeire (Zardozi): “She was a little unsettled in the gates. She began well. Probably as we came out of the course proper we copped some interference.”

Tom Sherry (August Bloom): No comment

Josh Parr (Captain Amelia): “She ran really well from an impossible position. She will appreciate the 1600m.”

Dylan Gibbons (French Endeavour): “Good run.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Tutta La Vita): “Nice run. We had to go back from the draw. The pace slackened off down the side. She was building all the way through the line. The mile suits.”

Chad Schofield (Unique Ambition): “She was always in a tricky spot. Was always crammed in and tight. Gave me the feel of a good filly.”

Brett Prebble (Mumbai Muse): “A bit naughty in the gates and came out a bit ordinary. So had to ride her a bit differently. I thought when I got off the back I was going to let down well but probably seven furlongs sees her out.”

Rachel King (Summer Loving): “We had a really good run. Can’t wait for a mile.”

Tyler Schiller (Private Legacy): “Good run. She made up a bit of ground again which is promising.”

Brock Ryan (Nantucket Island): “She is a nice filly. She just needs a bit of time.”
