Nikki Swango another for Lupini

Nikki Swango put her experience to good use in the Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden over six furlongs at Dundalk.

The 2/1 favourite was having her fifth career start and tracked the leaders, and got on terms with Perfect Judgement at the halfway stage.

She took over on the run to the final furlong and kept on well for Billy Lee to come in by a length and a half. Dreamondo (33/1) stayed on nicely for second at 33/1 and was the same distance in front of Perfect Judgement (10/3).

Trainer Natalia Lupini said: "She did it quite nicely and she has been in good form since her last race at the Curragh.

"Unfortunately in the Curragh the ground went a bit against her - over six and a-half furlongs on softish ground did stretch her a bit. The showers prior to the race ruined her chance.

"It is a filly that keeps improving and has a lovely attitude and is very laid-back at home. She does everything very nicely in her work.

"It is a filly that could possibly pick up some black-type here in Ireland. She would need fast ground and we might look for a Listed race here."
