Review roscommon 4th Sep
< Detailed maintained her forward momentum with a determined victory in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap at Roscommon.
Joseph O'Brien's 7-4 favourite arrived on the back of wins at Ballinrobe and the Curragh, with a second at the Galway Festival thrown in for good measure.
It looked for a moment that she was treading water as Secret Existence and Nanabad disputed the lead, but Donnacha O'Brien conjured a big run out of her and she finished strongly to dispose of Secret Existence by a length and three-quarters.< Stenographer (4-1) won for the first time since his debut back in March of last year when landing the Tulsk Handicap.
Jim Bolger's gelding has kept good company since then but capitalised on having his sights lowered by inflicting a half-length defeat on Tribal Path
His stable companion Dubai Is Great was all the rage on his debut in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden but he was the first of the four runners off the bridle and could only plug on into third.
The prize went to experienced colt Sebastiano Ricci (3-1), who took the lead off Clueless Hill over a furlong out and came home three and a quarter lengths to the good, initiating a brace for the O'Brien brothers.< Jasaara stepped forward from her debut effort to break through in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
Dermot Weld's 4-1 chance was a well-held third at Naas in July but seemed to appreciate these testing conditions and beat Sin Sin by two and three-quarter lengths.
There was also jumping action, and All's Quiet (7-2) ran out a ridiculously easy winner of the Roscommon Rated Hurdle without Barry John Foley having to break sweat.< Benkei the 5-2 favourite, turned the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Handicap Hurdle into a procession, while 6-5 market leader Kirwans Lane made a successful start to his career in the Four Roads (Pro-Am) Flat Race.
