Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 2 $2,000,000 The Invitation (1400m) at Royal Randwick.

Jason Collett (Stefi Magnetica) “That was sweet, like we were a bit of a worry about fitness coming into it off the setback she had, but that was great. She's just electric when you get her back and let that tempo unfold in front. Just letting her just get into that rhythm is so important too.

“Yeah, the pressure was fantastic, really. That suited. I was overdoing it there, actually, when Manal popped out I had to come back and half checked, but when she unleashes like that she's a weapon.

“She was like the Doncaster, I was able to stack up from behind off a moderate tempo, and probably the same as the Stradbroke where she'd come underneath me and unleashed.”

Stefi Magnetica wins The Invitation

Nash Rawiller (Gerringong): “She ran great, she put herself in the right spot, I felt she was a bit lost that last 100m, probably a long time since she’s hit the front I guess, but a really good effort, she’s heading in the right direction.”

Tim Clark (Gangsta Granny): “Gallant effort, she tried really hard.”

Tommy Berry (Manaal): “She had a lovely run in the race, was a little bit below par for her today, might have to come to the end of her prep and we’ll see her again in the Autumn.”

Adam Hyeronimus (Miss Roumbini): “Unfortunately the first half of the race didn’t go right for us and that told late.”

Regan Bayliss (Firestorm): “She’s gone terrific, got left flat-footed at the top of the straight, but the best part of her race was the last 100m, she’s certainly on target for something in Melbourne.”

Rachel King (Oh Diamond Lil): “Good run, probably looking for that little bit further now.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Monte Supreme): “She ran a nice enough race, we were on the back of the winner turning for home, she might not have run the 1400m out strongly, so maybe back in trip is the go for her going forward.”

Tyler Schiller (Dark Glitter): “I thought she was really improving sharply there and unfortunately ran out of room, had to alter course and she was just a little bit flat-footed, but it was a good effort.”

Dylan Gibbons (More Territories): “She’s still going great guns she just needs to set up for her and sadly there’s not much you can do about that.”

Ashley Morgan (Overriding): “Very good run, she’s going really well, back to handicap conditions will suit her.”

Chad Schofield (Bauhinia): “Ran enormous, very good horse, I was always sort of cluttered up, I was on the back of Manaal which never took me anywhere, I was going better than her, always in restricted room but hit the line very well.”
