The Jack Davison trained She's Quality won just as easily as her pre-race odds suggested she should when proving far too good for a quartet of rivals in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race at Tipperary.

Sent off 4-9f to follow up her recent handicap win at Down Royal, supporters of the three-year-old never had an anxious moment as she barely had to be asked a question under Ronan Whelan.

Runner-up in a Listed race on her third last run, the daughter of Acclamation looked well treated here off a mark of 103.

Always travelling well within herself, She's Quality headed early leader Branding over a furlong out before extending without being asked for maximum effort to win by three-and-a-quarter lengths.

With both Branding and Zarra Ellis weakening inside the last, Gabriella's Spirit came through to take minor honours.

Jack Davison said: “She was very professional, and it is all starting to click. She’s getting to where I thought she would be, and we look forward to the Sapphire at the Curragh in a couple of weeks.

“It’s a Group 2 over five furlongs that we won with Mooneista a few years ago. Hopefully the ground stays fast.

“We’re working on her confidence and the last two runs will do her the world of good. I really do think she’s going to be a very good sprinter going forward.”
