"Special" Melody shines in last
Glens Melody pulls clear in style

Glens Melody blew away her opposition in the concluding bumper at Tipperary to take her career tally to three from three.
The Willie Mullins-trained 8/11 hotpot (from even-money in morning) settled behind the leaders early in the two-mile contest before taking closer order turning for home.
Patrick Mullins asked his mount to claim front-runner St Maxime over a furlong from home and she soon quicked clear.
The King's Theatre filly pulled away in great style in the final furlong and was soon eased down to record a hard held seven-and-a-half length victory.
"I haven't sat on many like her - she's quite special," said the winning rider.
"She's got loads of gears and also has stamina - she proved that to win at Punchestown.
"She'll go for a maiden hurdle now or could go for an amateur Flat race."
