< Bocca Baciata ran out a very emphatic winner of the Dance Design Fillies Stakes at the Curragh.
The pacesetting My Titania was tackled by Brooch early in the straight, but Fran Berry was hardly moving on Bocca Baciata on the other side of the pack, yet she cruised into contention stylishly.
Once given her head, the response was impressive and the 11-4 favourite accelerated four lengths clear of Easter at the line, with Brooch third.< Smash Williams confirmed the promise of last week's debut demolition job by taking the step up to Group Three company in his stride in the Round Tower Stakes.
Jim Bolger's 6-5 favourite travelled just off the pace and took a little while to fully engage top gear but he took it up a furlong and a half out and never looked like being caught, passing the post a length and three-quarters ahead of Rockaway Valley
Aidan O'Brien claimed Listed honours in the Flame Of Tara EBF Stakes, but not with the filly most would have expected.< How High The Moon was sent off the 7-4 market leader and came with a strong challenge down the outside, but she couldn't quite reel in her stablemate Kind Of Magic (14-1), who broke her duck by half a length.
O'Brien's Beacon Rock (5-4 favourite) was still fourth entering the final furlong of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C & G) Maiden but sprouted wings in the dying strides and got up on the line to nail Precious Gold < Hint Of A Tint (10-1) made a successful return to action at the Galway Festival and despite being raised 9lb, she collected another big pot by beating the well-backed Portage in the Tote Irish Cambridgeshire.
Ross Coakley drove the Tom Gibney-trained To Choose (14-1) home in the Derek O'Sullivan Memorial Apprentice Handicap, while the BAM Ireland Handicap went the way of 7-1 shot Captain Power
