Boogie Time for Heffernan and O'Brien at Navan

Time To Boogie made up for a disappointing odds-on flop at Gowran Park last time when staying on best under Seamie Heffernan to win the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies & Mares Maiden at Navan.

A daughter of Quality Road, the Aidan O'Brien trained filly had made a promising racecourse debut at the Curragh as a juvenile, before blotting her copybook on her reappearance.

Prominent throughout under Heffernan, the filly headed long time leader Finsceal Go Deo over a furlong out before keeping on strongly to win by two-and-a-half lengths.

The latter battled on bravely to hold the runner-up spot, with a staying on Randall Poets Lass back in third.

Stable representative Chris Armstrong said: "(Before) Gowran the last day she had been off for a fair length of time, she got a hold-up early in the spring.

"She had a good run at two in a good maiden and it stood to her.

"She stepped forward nicely in her work.

"She's in the Denny Cordell (Group 3 at Gowran Park) in two weeks, it might come a bit quick for her. She could go for something like the Garnet or the Bluebell at Naas in five or six weeks time.

"She's a nice filly, a big filly and she is coming along each week.

"It didn't happen for her the last day at Gowran, so we just put a line through it. Her work has been solid since."

When asked if the juice in the ground today helped her, he replied: "Definitely helped and Gowran was probably on the quick side. An ease in the ground and a mile, mile and a quarter is her trip."
