Review curragh 2nd Jul

Roger Varian claimed the Pretty Polly Stakes for a second time when Nezwaah took her game to a new level at the Curragh.

Upped in class on the back of winning her second Listed race at Ayr, the 13-2 shot took over from Zhukova at the head of affairs a furlong out after Creggs Pipes had set a searing early pace.< Rain Goddess went in pursuit but Nezwaah wasn't for catching and came home three and a quarter lengths in front to match the victory of Ambivalent, who won the Group One contest for Varian in 2013.< Johannes Vermeer Clemmie and Gustav Klimt combined to give Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore trebles.

Johannes Vermeer ended a drought that stretched back to November 2015 with victory in the Finlay Volvo International Stakes.

The 5-2 favourite was angled out to challenge Success Days for the lead a furlong from home and Moore kept him up to his work to score by a cosy half-length.

Clemmie, a full-sister to dual Guineas hero Churchill, had performed well enough in defeat in two previous attempts but broke her duck with an authoritative performance to beat stablemate Butterscotch by two and three-quarter lengths as the 6-4 favourite in the Grangecon Stud Stakes.

Gustav Klimt (11-8 favourite) stepped forward from his debut to run out an impressive winner of the Barronstown Stud EBF (C & G) Maiden.< Rekindling (4-1) sprouted wings late to lift the Comer Group International Curragh Cup.< Wicklow Brave looked the likely victor when setting sail for home inside the final quarter-mile, but he was worn down by Joseph O'Brien's three-year-old, who prevailed by half a length.

The application of blinkers helped Tithonus bounce back to form and the Denis Hogan-trained 14-1 chance fended off the late charge of Hit The Bid by a neck in the Tote Rockingham Handicap.< Hamley (8-1) supplemented Thursday's Tipperary win in the Troytown Grey Abbey Equine Hospital Handicap, while Silverkode (6-1) took the RTE Radio One Handicap.
