We spoke to jockeys competing in the Manco Easter Handicap to get their comments on how the race went.

1st: Endless Drama Leith Innes
We had a nice run. Full credit to the horse with 59kgs and he won well.
2nd: Watch This Space Vinnie Colgan
Super run from the old boy.
3rd: Yearn Donavan Monsour
Great run form my mare.
4th: Demonetization Rosie Myers
Beautiful horse. Unlucky on the corner. He'll be a really nice horse with some sting out of the ground and a bit more ground.
5th: Beefeater Chris Johnson
Got a nice trip and tried hard just got swamped the last bit.
6th: Mongolianconqueror Craig Grylls
A good run. Followed the winner but he was a little put off taking a gap. Very encouraging run.
7th: The Mitigator Shaun McKay
A very good run considering he got taken on in front and that cost him finishing a couple lengths closer at the finish. A good run.
8th: La Castile Chris Dell
Maybe a mile backing up just a bit hard on her. She just battled and may benefit from spacing her races.
9th: Dama Zorro Kelly McCulloch
Really nice run. First time over a mile and looking forward to next season with her.
10th: Rangipo Sam Collett
A brave run from the veteran. Was three wide with not much cover, he kicked as to threaten but peaked on his run.
11th: Go Nicholas Trudy Thornton
Honest enough run, maybe looking for 2100 metres I feel.
12th: Kingsguard Matt Cameron
Very disappointing. Had a nice run but didn't give me anything in the straight.
13th: Ronchi Lynsey Satherley
He's probably feeling the ground but it was a alright run.
14th: Megablast Jonathan Riddell
Very good run. Not a lot of room in the final 200 metres cost him finishing closer.
15th: Sultan Of Swing Sam Spratt
Traveled nicely and was pretty unlucky in the straight.
16th: Tomelilla Ryan Elliot
Got too far back and got checked four times and had too much to do.
17th: On The Rocks Jake Bayliss
He's given most of the field 7kg weight allowance. It was a very fast run mile and with his weight of 59kgs, he just couldn't keep up. He was looking for that mid-race break and never got it. Still closed okay but the weight was too much.
Last: Big Mike Robert Hannam
Disappointing run from him.
