Review CURRAGH 1ST SEP CURRAGH REVIEWEnglish raider Mail The Desert landed the featured Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes by a diminishing head at The Curragh this afternoon.Mick Channon's filly made all under Steve Drowne to repel the strong late challenge of the Jim Bolger trained Luminata (10/1 - 6/1).Winning rider Drowne said afterwards: 'That was my first winner in Ireland. The plan was to get a lead early on but I decided to go on as there was no pace and I knew my filly would get the trip.'Prior to the featured race favourite backers had by far the best of the exchanges. Spectacular (9/4f) and Snippets(6/4f) provided Jim Bolger with some compensation for the narrow defeat of Luminata, while Walayef (11/10f) fulfilled the promise of her maiden success over the course when running out an easy winner of the Listed Round Tower Stakes.Kevin Prendergast said of Walayef: 'She came to us from Dubai and is the best 2 year old I have at this trip. There is a possibility that she may now be supplemented for the Cheveley Park Stud Stakes at Newmarket.'Sir Mark Prescott's Danehurst justified favouritism when getting up to beat fellow raider Lady Dominatrix by a head in The Big Shuffle Flying Five Group 2 race.John Oxx and Johnny Murtagh continued their rich vein of form when Masani won the ladbrokes.com Irish Cambridgeshire by a head from the lightly weighted Moratorium.
