Review leopardstown 7th Jul
< Teo's Sister made an impressive start to her racing career with a length and three-quarter victory at Leopardstown.
A full sister to 2006 champion two-year-old Teofilo, Jim Bolger's newcomer was sent off an easy-to-back 9-4 chance in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden, but belied that drift with a commanding success.
Kevin Manning had her in front rank from the outset and although market leader Shiramiyna layed down a strong challenge in the closing stages of the seven-furlong heat, Teo's Sister stayed on in grand style to strike at the first time of asking.< Forever Glory delivered on the promise of her Curragh comeback run when opening her account in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
Once-raced for David Marnane as a juvenile last term, the daughter of Shamardal made it second time lucky for Jessica Harrington when justifying 11-10 favouritism in the hands of Fran Berry.< Dawariya supplemented last month's Ballinrobe maiden triumph with a follow-up win in the jogforjockeys.ie Handicap.
Johnny Murtagh tracked leader Crystal Belle on the John Oxx-trained Selkirk filly and once sent to the front at the two-furlong marker, the 6-4 favourite never looked like losing, going on to score by a length and a quarter.

After taking over from front-runner Solo Performer on the turn for home, the Murtagh sent the 6-4 favourite for home and he was not for catching.< Akasaka maintained his steady rate of progression when scoring with a degree of comfort under Joseph O'Brien in the Fernleigh Handicap.
Edward Lynam's improver was sent off the 100-30 favourite on the back of a near-miss at the track late last month and he didn't disappoint his supporters, readily holding the fast-finishing Casela Park a length and three quarters at bay, with Adam's Return filling the placings in third.
