She's In The Game got up on the line to pip Eloso in a thrilling finish to the six-furlong handicap at Cork.

Eloso looked like he had done enough when kicking a couple of lengths clear early in the final furlong but was chased down late on by Bill Farrell's charge.

Chris Hayes' mount had initially run around when asked for an effort over a furlong out but knuckled down well in the closing stages and had her head down at the right time to secure a short-head victory.

The 10/3 favourite had been inconvenienced mid-race by her sheepskin noseband flapping loose and thankfully it fell off passing the two pole.

She's In The Game had ended a run of placed efforts with another narrow victory at the Curragh last time.

"It was a big step up in grade and I put Chris on her as Neve (Bennett, 10lbs claimer) couldn't do the weight,” said Farrell.

“Neve rides her most days and does a fantastic job with her - it's all down to Neve really.

"We decided to ride her cold and let her go through horses and she was brave to the line.

"Once the ground goes, she'll probably be gone for the year and I'll probably race on with her next year. She owes us nothing and she is going the right way.

"She is a sweet filly, I am mad about her and we could cover her next year and keep her racing."
