"Nice evening's work" from Oliver's 1,2,3 Andy Oliver saddled a one two three in the www.dundalkstadium.com Maiden as the outsider of his three Play It Cool (10/1) led them home under Leigh Roche. Play It Cool built on his third placing from here nine days ago to defeat favourite Finanical Conduct (the pace-setter) by a length and a half. Gary Carroll rode the J P Ledwidge-owned Financial Conduct for Oliver, whilst Chris Hayes was on his first-timer, The Phantom Punch, who ended up three lengths back in third. "They are three nice horses. We've had a bit of a backlog from earlier in the year and are just getting them out. It was an opportunity to run and we only have one more mile and a half maiden left so we had to run them all," stated Oliver. "It was a bit unfortunate to take yourself on. I thought there was a possibility that could happen but not sure which order it might be. "The winner is a nice well-bred horse and to come off the back of a run was great. The second is a lovely big scopey horse and one to develop, and the third is a very nice horse and was just beaten by greenness. He's only done one piece of work away. It's certainly a nice evening's work! "I'd like to win with the other two, and I have another couple to run here. There is one mile and a quarter maiden and one mile and a half maiden left here." It was the first time that the County Tyrone handler had the first three in a race. C.D. Hayes, rider of The Phantom Punch, trained by A. Oliver, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount showed signs of greeness in the early stages of this race. (AM & EM)
