My Silver Nails part of an across the card treble for Mick Mulvany last Thursday, followed up under a 6lb penalty in the Property Partners Early Auctioneers Fillies Handicap at Roscommon. Tammy Wynette set the pace in this seven furlongs contest but started feeling the pinch when edging left over a furlong out.
My Silver Nails was briefly carried a bit left but stayed on strongly in the closing stages under Gary Carroll to prevail by a length.
The 5/2 favourite Ice Storm kept on up the inner to take second, with Tammy Wynette a neck further adrift in third.
Mulvany said, “He just said he outstayed the other one. We’ll probably head to Galway with her now and have a go. We’ve never had a winner at the big Festival so we’ll be hoping to break our duck. Her mother won in Galway but not at the Festival.
“There’s a race on the Monday and the Friday for her, and I think seven in Galway would suit her. A mile in Galway might stretch her.”
