Jockey Glyn Schofield aboard 3rd place finish Mourilyan said, "This horse kept improving, kept on bursting through. I tried to follow Kerrin when he came out but when I went for him at the end there wasn't much there.
Brad Rawiller aboard 7th place finisher and beaten favorite Viewed added, "It was too slow for us. I would have liked to have been on the back of Shocking to bring us into the race. I got forced onto the heels of one going down the straight and we nearly came down. We were lucky to stay up. I had two horses at one stage trying to stay inside me and ended up in strife for 100 metres. Got on heels and nearly came down but fortunately stayed up. From there to the winning post we were in a fair bit of trouble there. With 58kg it was going to be hard from there."
