Winning trainer Charles O'Brien said afterwards, "He's a nice little horse, I didn't think he'd know enough to win first time out. Not really too sure where to go next, we'll probably stick to handicaps with him."

O'Brien added, "I spoke to my father this morning he is in great form, he winters in Australia and will be home at the weekend."
