Carberry scores again on Fasolo
Fasolo proved easy to back in the concluding bumper at Cork but did the business under Nina Carberry.
Charlie Swan 's charge made a promising debut when second at Down Royal last Thursday and turned out again quickly to go one better.
Carberry drove her mount (2/1 to 3/1) into the lead a furlong-and-a-half from home and the Monsun gelding stuck on well in the closing stages to beat 9/4 favourite Really Unique by a length-and-a-half.
It was a fourth winner in four days for Carberry, who again showed her worth in amateur events.
"I took a chance running him back so quickly but you have to take a chance in life!," said Swan afterwards.
"It didn't look the hottest of races and he's a tough horse so that's why I ran him so quick. He'll have a bit of a break now."
