Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 3 $250,000 Hyland Race Colours Show County Quality (1200m) at Royal Randwick.

James McDonald (Lazzura): “She is a star. Gave me a beautiful ride. Left the gates a little bit awkwardly. Got back and thought they didn’t really go a gallop. Thought she would have to be extremely good to win but she was that. Got through the ground well. A tenacious mare who has come back in great order. Well looked after.

“She is pretty quick. For her to rattle off sectionals like she has today off a slow tempo is a testament to her ability but also how quick she is. She has plenty of pace.”

Alysha Collett (With Your Blessing): “Really brave run. Controlled the race in front. Had it all over until we got rolled."

Jason Collett (General Salute): “Probably found that ground a bit sticky. Didn’t change legs in the straight. Still fought on but not as effectively as he can be.”

Andrew Mallyon (Yellow Brick): “Really pleased with his return. Travelled nicely and presented well into the race. Probably laboured under the big weight on a really heavy track not to his liking.”

Zac Lloyd (Corniche): “Probably just a bit full of himself today. He will need that run just to bring him down a peg. Travelled a bit keen in the going.”

Tom Sherry (Romeo's Choice): “Very pleased with him. He has run really well. The five weeks between runs might have told late. An honest race.”

Jay Ford (Bandi's Boy): “I know he has good wet track form but he struggled in that ground today. He is a big heavy horse. He is going well and feeling well but I think he wants a firmer surface.”

Dylan Gibbons (Just Feelin' Lucky): “Travelled well. Just sunk in the ground.”
