Review naas 1st May

< Minding made the perfect start to her four-year-old campaign with a dominant display in the Camelot Irish EBF Mooresbridge Stakes at Naas.

The seven-time Group One winner only had three rivals to beat and Ryan Moore was happy to make his own running on the 1-3 favourite.< Moonlight Magic got closest to her, while Brendan Brackan and Johannes Vermeer also tried to chime in, but Minding was still in second gear and Moore didn't have to resort to the whip for her to stroll three and a half lengths away from Moonlight Magic.< Rehana could have booked herself a place in the Irish 1,000 Guineas with a clear-cut victory in the Canford Cliffs Irish EBF Athasi Stakes.

Michael Halford's filly dictated matters to suit herself and when challenged by fellow 6-4 joint-favourite Rose De Pierre showed off a striking turn of foot to go two and three-quarter lengths clear.< Doctor Geoff came with a rattling run to scoop top honours in the Power Irish EBF Tetrarch Stakes.

Ger Lyons' 8-1 shot switched to the outside of the leading group a furlong out and mowed down Drumfad Bay to go in by half a length, with favourite Peace Envoy finishing out of the frame but full of running after failing to get a clear passage at any time in the straight.

Experience told in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race as Dali fended off debutant Hawaam to justify 4-6 favouritism.

O'Brien's youngster was second on his introduction at Dundalk and appeared more streetwise when pressed by Hawaam, keeping him a length at bay.

The word was out about the Jessica Harrington-trained newcomer Alpha Centauri because she was sent off the 2-1 favourite for the Coolmore No Nay Never Irish EBF Fillies Maiden, and made most of the running to see off Actress by two and a half lengths.< Virtudes (8-1) made it second-time lucky in the Panoramic Restaurant Maiden, while 7-1 chance Admodum won the Royal Ascot Trials Day May 21st Handicap and Miss Power (7-1) took the www.naasracecourse.com Handicap.
