Winning trainer Saeed bin Suroor said, "Before the race I thought she might be a little bit fresh, a little keen, so it was a brilliant ride from Frankie. But today she is in a different class to the others in this race. She ran and won a Group 2 in France last time. Today was perfect for her, the ground and the distance. We talked to Frankie and told him just to keep her close in the race because that is what she likes. We could take the filly to the Breeders' Cup after this. It will depend how she comes out of the race."
