Tide turns for Pacific Ocean in Navan Aidan O'Brien's Pacific Ocean made all in the concluding mile maiden at Navan to score by two and a half lengths at 7/2. Romantic Proposal, the 11/8 favourite, could make no impression on the winner in the final furlong and had to settle for second. He was five lengths clear of third-placed Prisoner's Dilemma who was a 33/1 shot. “He did it well. He sharpened up a good bit from the last day,” jockey Emmet McNamara said. “He was a little bit lazy in his race today but he's learning from run to run. “He jumped and travelled smart, I got a breather into him just as he was rounding the bend for home and I was able to keep increasing it all the way to the top then. He found the line well and stayed well. “He showed a very good, willing attitude. The cheekpieces are on just to help him travel and sharpen him and they did that today. “He actually is very genuine, it was a nice performance and hopefully he keeps progressing.” Additional reporting by Gary Carson
