Jockey Comments – Group 2 Rich Hill Mile

1st – Bourbon Empress – Matt Cartwright – Jumped well and got cover and ran on strongly. Too good.

2nd – Jaarffi – Warren Kennedy – Courageous effort. Trapped wide the whole trip. Maybe needed something to chase but was caught wandering but when the other horse went past she came again.

3rd – Uderzo – Masa Hashizume – Was a little unlucky in the straight. Very good run.

4th – Provence – Sam Spratt – Gone a good race. Was going for a gap that closed.

5th – Little Bit Of Love – Craig Grylls – Good honest run. Was crowded early but when found space she finished well.

6th – Trust In You – Ryan Elliot – First up over a mile after a Melbourne Cup campaign, he’s gone huge.

7th – Mary Shan – Michael McNab – Stiff.

8th – What You Wish For – Kelly Myers – No comment.

9th – No Secret – Lynsey Satherley – Had no luck in the straight. Should have run top 5.

10th – Witz End – Sam Weatherely – A little disappointing. Not as effective right-handed way round. Back to the drawing board.

11th – Kealoha – Joe Doyle – Got in a lovely spot but maybe looking for more ground.

12th – Moonlight Magic – George Rooke – Jumped well but not suited by the slow pace.

Last – Chevron – Tegan Newman – He’s blown out the last 600m after a few weeks between runs.
