Jockey Colm O'Donoghue said, "He broke really well, got a good position early, and settled down well into the race on the backstretch. The pace started to pick up from about a half-mile out, and he got into the best position in the race. The horse on my outside fell away, and he quickened up really well, and ran strong to the line. I knew the last half-furlong he was probably getting a little bit lonely in front."
