Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 2 $300,000 Darley Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) at Royal Randwick.
James McDonald (Autumn Glow): “She's very good. She's just so economical in her action.
“She's got a great constitution, good strength about her (and a) really good mind. She'll keep improving, too.
“It is to Chris' credit.. He said, 'you ride her, you're on top, you go with her. I've got as much faith in the filly as I do you.
“Hopefully it's a good combination and she's classy. She's got all the class in the world. Have a look at her.”
Autumn Glow wins the Tea Rose
Kerrin McEvoy (Snow In May): “She just missed the start a little bit which was frustrating. She got back going slow and like the way she finished it off. Onto the Flight for her and hoping the mile is to her liking as well.”
Jason Collett (Manaal): “She took up the running. Relaxed in front but headed.”
Chad Schofield (Ameena): “She is a very good filly. Just getting dictated to by bad barriers. She is having to be ridden a lot further back than she needs to be. She has a lot of class.”
Dylan Gibbons (Erno's Cube): “She has gone fantastic. Gave herself every chance possible. Just doesn’t see out a strong 1400m.”
Cejay Graham (El Morzillo): “The pace of the race was really against us. She actually jumped better which I was happy with. From the wide alley I was forced to go back. She wanted to really overdo things early. I wasn’t able to pick them up.”
Tommy Berry (Lazzura): “She is a top filly this. Probably a little bit behind the others in maturing. She is still all legs and a bit light. Going to come back really nice next prep. Still could press onto the Flight Stakes but I think next prep is when we will see her at her best.”
Zac Lloyd (More Territories): “Really nice type of filly. Gave me a great feel. Just having the two best fillies in the country in front and going a pretty sedate tempo made it hard for us backmarkers. I thought my filly acquitted herself well.”
Adam Hyeronimus (Bella Khadijah): “We had no luck in a very strong race today. I think she will be better next time in.”
