Up in distance Just Gorgeous let her backers down on debut at Naas nine days ago but the market support arrived again for the Galileo filly (15/8 into 11/8) and she was able to supply Joseph O'Brien with a twenty first birthday present in the concluding Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden at Cork. Ode To Psyche proved a tough nut to crack in front but with the dual champion jockey putting his whip down close home he forced Just Gorgeous up to register a short head success.

Joseph said of the Ballydoyle three-year-old: "She ran okay first time out and the step up in trip suited her.

"Hopefully she'll progress. They went quite slow today and it was a tactical sort of race." (TW & EM)
