Find out what the jockeys made of their mounts after the Group 3 $200,000 Darley Pago Pago Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill Gardens.

James McDonald (Shinzo): “He’s a beautiful horse, there’s no two questions about that. Oozes so much quality, he’s just got three-year-old written all over him. What he’s doing now is just an absolute bonus. Can’t wait until he comes back as a three-year-old because I think we’ll see a fair dinkum horse.

“He’s just been a work in progress as well. As Chris’s (Waller) horses get deeper in a prep they tend to get better and he’s been slow maturing mentally and physically. But you only have to look at him, and he feels beautiful so he’ll come to hand slowly. That’s why as a three-year-old it’s all over him.”

Michael Dee (Maharba): “Good tough effort. Probably the heat took it out of him today. Just got quite hot and wound up before the start. That just took a bit out of him late.”

Tim Clark (Bases Loaded): “It was a good performance. He sort of ran up to his form. Shinzo beat him home the other day and beat him home again today. He might have been looking for 1400m today but ran well.”

Brett Prebble (Introducing): “He had a nice enough time in front. Was very wayward up the straight again. He has a big engine but I’d just like him focused.”

Nash Rawiller (Zulfiqar): “Probably just had to burn the candle at both ends.”

Kerrin McEvoy (Godzilla): “A lovely run. He will improve with another furlong in two week’s time.”

Reece Jones (Bold And Blazen): “Nice run first up for him. Jumped well and travelled behind the speed. He didn’t disgrace himself.”

Regan Bayliss (Gustosisimo): “He is a nice horse. Still very raw.”

Chad Schofield (Idhana): “I think he’s a really nice horse for later.”

Ryan Maloney (Limburg): “Just raced wide.”
