Below are all the comments from selected jockeys who rode in today’s 150,000 listed Gucci Icons of Heritage Stakes (1200m) at Flemington.
Shamal Wind (FIRST): “She gave me good feel last start but I wasn’t sure how she’d measure out today. I was just sitting and sitting and everything was gone around me so I gave her a little squeeze and she just accelerated really well. She gave me the feel of a good horse and I love the way she just sat in behind today and never touched the bridle.” - Mark Zahra
Brave Soul (SECOND): “She ran really good and tried very hard, it was a great run.” - Blake Shinn
Isabella Snowflake (THIRD): “She tried hard.” - Craig Newitt
Sheza Single Girl (FIFTH): “She got lost down the straight the first time. I’m sure 1400 metres at Sandown next time she’ll be hard to beat.” - Michael Walker
Seaside (SIXTH): “Improve on the run.” - Corey Brown
Snipzu (SEVENTH): “Better today in daytime with the blinkers off but still she’s just mentally costing herself three lengths.” - Craig Williams
Burndiniburn (EIGHTH): “She wanted to lay in.” - Nick Hall
Zarzing (NINTH): “She’ll be a nice horse in time to come.” - Dwayne Dunn
Saturn Rock (TENTH): “She just doesn’t handle firm tracks.” - Glen Boss
Agueda (ELEVENTH): “She’s had enough.” - Damien Oliver
Cavalry Rose (Last): “Did nothing.” - Hugh Bowman
