Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 3 $160,000 Keeneland Gimcrack Stakes (1000m) at Royal Randwick.

James McDonald (Coolangatta): “Just exactly a cut and paste of Enthaar. Everything is similar about her. The way she acts and the way she gallops is very professional. Very easy to ride. Especially when you are coming up against a lot of green horses. There is a way to go but she’s a very smart filly.

“She came through the professional school so she is just like an older horse to ride except she does get a big fizzy. As you expect for a young horse, very enthusiastic. It is hard to muck up rides like that when she is so professional.”

“I remember Ciaron ringing me for the ride. You know how slow he is at talking. There was a big pause on the line. ‘How you goin’ - wanna ride a fast 2yo’. He hit the nail on the head.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Drisana): “That was really pleasing. We had to duck and weave up the running after beginning a bit slowly but the best is ahead of her.”

Tim Clark (Pantonario): “Solid debut.”

Tommy Berry (Wild Calm): “She was brilliant late. She is going to enjoy getting over further.”

Nash Rawiller (Choose Your Words): “She has got nice ability. She sort of might have felt the ground a touch late. She gave me a nice ride and did everything right.”

Kathy O'Hara (Deep Expectation): “She is better than what she showed today. Just feeling her legs.”

James Innes (Eurydice): “She didn’t have the easiest of runs. That being said she was beaten a long way from home. I think she will mature and come into a nice filly later on.”

Hugh Bowman (Mumbai Jewel): “A lovely filly who’s going to be up with the top ones come the Autumn.”

Rachel King (Okami Miss): “Was very good early. Just got a bit tired.”

Alysha Collett (Snitcat): “She will learn a lot from that.”

Sam Clipperton (Street Smarts): “She stuck on OK after a wide run.”

Jason Collett (Wild Botanica): “Jumped into a good spot. Every chance in the straight.”
