Comic Book (far side) foils Andromeda © Photo Healy Racing
There was an upset in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden as the Shane Foley-ridden Comic Book (15/2) got the better of short-priced favourite Andromeda
Unplaced in two previous outings, the daughter of Frankel set out to make all but was narrowly headed by the market leader over a furlong out before knuckling down well to score by half a length.
Owned by Zhang Yuesheng, the winner is trained by Jessica Harrington.
Assistant trainer Kate Harrington said: "The step up in trip really suited and I'm delighted with that. She stayed every yard and she really showed guts and determination towards the end.
"We always thought a lot of her and we had no extremes in ground today. Probably the two times she ran in Leopardstown was a bit too quick for her. It is beautiful ground there today and fair play to the team at Bellewstown who do an absolutely fantastic job.
"She's a lovely filly and I hope we keep progressing forward. We put her in a Stakes race in France during the week. She could take her chance in that. She is a gorgeous filly and has a beautiful pedigree.
"It is great to get one on the board for Zhang Yuesheng."
