Beauty Bella opens her account at the 15th attempt

Adrian Murray followed up a double here last Friday when saddling Beauty Bella to take the View Restaurant At Dundalk Stadium Fillies Maiden.

The daughter of Buratino, placed a number of times on varying ground conditions on turf last year, was scoring here at the 15th attempt.

The 9/1 shot led over a furlong out and soon took control under Jack Cleary who just pushed her out to beat Gioiella by a length and a half with Lauroline half-a-length further away in third.

Murray said, "We have finally got the key to her, I think. She's a good filly and we always thought a lot of her. It was just never happening for her.

"Before this, when she came under pressure you'd give her a couple of smacks behind the saddle and she would just put up her head and had enough. She rolled into it there with hands and heels, and she was game at the end.

"There is definitely more in her. We'll keep her going probably on the turf over the summer."
