Here are comments from the jockeys in the AJC Avondale Guineas
1st - La Crique - Craig Grylls
Got into the trail early and relaxed and travelled well and showed a great turn of foot. She's a very good filly.
2nd - Arjay's Flight - Trudy Thornton
Big run.
3rd - Marchand - Leith Innes
Obviously the winner won well but he had the outside barrier and his run had a lot of merit.
4th - White Noise - Ryan Eliot
Beautiful spot in the running but they went too slow and sprinted but he's finished well after being off for six weeks.
5th - Field Of Gold - Michael McNab
Okay run without being great. When he started to improve he missed a couple of strides and wasn't able to get his action back. But he was still below par.
6th - The Perfect Pink - Opie Bosson
Got a nice soft run but just locked up halfway down the straight. Disappointing run.
7th - Regal Lion - Matt Cameron
Super run. He's still learning, bring on the Derby. He'll be a lot better for it.
8th - Tutukaka - Jonathan Riddell
Never tried.
9th - Nest Egg - Hazel Schofer
Had a rough run. Got back further than intended but he'll get the trip in the Derby.
10th - Yes We Khan - Masa Hasizume
Fair run.
11th - Shockatillatap - Shaun McKay
Checked at the start and raced erratically but was outclassed.
12th - Opaea Joe - Kozzi Asano
Didn't stay. Probably needs to go back to a mile.
Last - Te Toki - Vinnie Colgan
Had enough.
