Moyglare and Weld filly makes lovely start Much of the attention pre-race for the Big Bad Bob Fillies Maiden (Plus 10 Race) focused on the massive tumble in price on track for newcomer Chosen Rock (33/1 into 4/1). Peter Casey's charge could only beat one home as another first-timer landed the spoils, Moyglare Stud Farm's Va Pensiero scoring under Pat Smullen. The successful 7/1 shot, trained by Dermot Weld, is a daughter of High Chaparral and here she proved strongest in the final furlong for a length and a quarter victory over favourite Ruby Gates. Promising debutant The Tulip came home nicely to be a further short head back in third. Smullen commented: "She's a very well bred filly and it's great to get a winning bracket. It wasn't the strongest race but she was in the right position and I got a lovely run through. "It was nice to do that first time out and she was very professional. A mile is probably her distance." The Stewards informed Patrick Martin, trainer that Dottie Lottie, would have to be recertified before being declared to run from stalls again. (AM & EM)
