New Zealand-bred filly Seabrook did an excellent job to finish fifth in Saturday’s Gr.1 Golden Slipper (1200m), according to jockey Damien Oliver.

“The speed there appeared to be on the inside before the race didn’t eventuate and the winner got over pretty cheaply,” he said.

“They had pretty easy sectionals in the middle. It made it difficult for the horses back in the field to make ground, but I thought she went really well.”

Seabrook finished one place ahead of the Karaka graduate Long Leaf, who was ridden by Blake Shinn.

“He sprinted really well from the back of the field. He is an outstanding horse,” he said.
