The word from the stable: Smith on Prima Bella

The Guide has filed its questions with the stable. This feature publishes automatically the moment the trainer’s answers land, in their own words.
Prima Bella brought her Sydney form south and handled the Flemington Soft 6 first-up. How much did the wet suit her, and was the trip down always the plan?
Awaiting the stable’s reply.
She is now three wins from five on Heavy going. Does that record open up where you can place her through the winter?
Awaiting the stable’s reply.
Harry Coffey had her positioned beautifully from the gate. What were the instructions, and how did the run unfold from where you sat?
Awaiting the stable’s reply.
You have had good luck sending horses to Melbourne. What is it about Flemington in particular that brings out her best?
Awaiting the stable’s reply.
What is next for her, and are you tempted to step her up in grade or keep her to these sprint trips?
Awaiting the stable’s reply.
Questions filed — awaiting response. Outreach sent to Matthew Smith with a Friday 5pm reply-by. On response, the engine writes it up and publishes within minutes. The Guide does not invent quotes.
