Yefimenko another for Lyons and Keane
Yefimenko wins as she pleases

Yefimenko wasn't troubled in justifying 1/5 favouritism in the extended five furlong maiden at Bellewstown for a very in-form Ger Lyons and Colin Keane.
There was a great deal of promise in her opening second at the Curragh which saw her backed down to those prohibitive odds.
Keane soon had her at the head of affairs from stall eight and the duo asserted over a furlong out to win easily by three and three-quarter lengths. Emerald Harmony (9/2) took the runner-up berth and was the same distance in front of Ace In The Pack (22/1).
Assistant trainer Shane Lyons said: "She was entitled to do that after her run in the Curragh.
"We picked this race out straight away after the Curragh because she's so quick out of the stalls, and the race fitted in and was made for her.
"She deserved to do it on the Curragh run and she did it well.
"You'd have to look at bigger targets with her, good sprints. That will be her game and we'll be working our way up."
