Review TIPPERARY 28th Aug

< Psalm was the highlight of a Johnny Murtagh treble when overcoming a troubled passage in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fairy Bridge Stakes.

Aidan O'Brien's filly found nine furlongs beyond her against the likes of Katiyra at Gowran last time and appreciated this less taxing assignment.

The 3-1 chance found a wall of horses in front of her with less than a quarter of mile to travel but she quickened well when clear to catch Sharleez for a neck verdict.

British raider Senor Mirasol (4-5) stamped his class on the Danehill Dancer Tipperary Stakes with an all-the-way win.

Kevin Ryan's colt had made the frame in the Prix Robert Papin last time and had his rivals off the bridle at halfway in the five-furlong dash.

Neil Callan already had the race sewn up when taking a look over his shoulder over a furlong out and his mount coasted home two and a half lengths in front of Nubar Lady

It took 24 attempts for Tornadodancer to get off the mark but his confidence has obviously been boosted because he supplemented his recent Dundalk success with victory in the Aherlow House Hotel & Lodges Race.

After tracking front-running favourite Inourthoughts the 6-1 chance was eased out to make his challenge and handled the testing ground best en-route to a three-quarters-of-a-length defeat of Shining Armour < Astonish broke her duck with an authoritative performance under Murtagh in the Dunbavin Maiden.

David Wachman's filly has taken a while to get the hang of the game but appreciated the drop to the minimum trip and beat Toberanthawn by two and a half lengths as the 7-2 favourite.

Murtagh notched up the middle leg of his treble when Divinitus gamely repelled all challengers in the Super Sunday On October 5th Rates Race, rewarding favourite-backers who took the 9-4.
