Croi Mo Ri confirmed the promise of a fine recent effort at Epsom when making every yard of the running in the Chronicle Private Clients Race at Fairyhouse.
Paul Deegan's gelding was sent off the 11-8 favourite for the most valuable race of the evening having finished third in Listed company last time and he was soon at the head of affairs in the hands of Willie Supple.
He appeared to have most of his rivals in trouble two furlongs from home and although both Mojito Royale and Rock Moss began to get reel him in late on, Croi Mo Ri was three-quarters of a length ahead of the former at the line.
The Jim Bolger bandwagon continues to roll on and Bravely gave him his another winner in the Betchronicle.com @ The Sporting Emporium Maiden.
Sent off a 6-1 shot, the Rock Of Gibraltar colt appeared to have his work cut out with every rival to pass on the turn for home.
However, sporting the colours carried to victory by Lush Lashes and Cuis Ghaire at Royal Ascot last week, he showed a smart turn of foot to pick up the leaders and eventually win with a bit to spare under Kevin Manning, coming home a length and a half clear of Zars Gold.
The first-time tongue-strap worked the oracle for Betty Burke as she shed her maiden tag at the 13th attempt in the www.betchronicle.com Better Odds Handicap.
The Liam McAteer-trained 12-1 chance travelled strongly for Michael Hussey and responded well to her jockey's urgings in the straight to beat stablemate Fungible by a cosy three lengths.
Favourite backers looked likely to collect in the Bet On-Line @ betchronicle.com Handicap when Scopey drew clear two furlongs from home, but 25-1 shot Good Time Sue finished with real purpose to break their hearts and score by half a length.
