Review naas 6th Jul
Ger Lyons' tremendous run of form continued apace at Naas when Lady Rochford (7-1) made it third time lucky in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
The County Meath handler is saddling winner for fun at present and his Invincible Spirit filly, owned by Sheikh Mohammed, showed a likeable attitude to see off odds-on favourite Lady Wingshot by a short-head.
The Ladies had it between them from the furlong marker and it was the more experienced of the two that came out on top under Keagan Latham.< Captain Obvious made a winning start to his racing career in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C & G) Maiden.
David Wachman's son of Choisir was sent off a largely unconsidered 15-2 chance in the hands of Wayne Lordan but he was to the fore from the outset and stayed on well under pressure.
Runner-up Qatar's Pearl was the only one to run on from the rear but he came up short by a length and a quarter.
The Andrew Slattery-trained Ucanshoose landed a gamble in the Final BBQ Evening At Naas Racecourse On 20th July Handicap.
Backed into 6-1 co-favouritism, Declan Mcdonogh's mount burst through over a furlong out and ultimately held one of his main market rivals, Acushladear a neck at bay.
The fitting of first-time blinkers sparked a revival in Willie McCreery's dual Dundalk winner Colour Of Love who got off the mark on turf at the seventh attempt.< Eagle Canyon tried to make all but he got in a tusssle with Jambalaya towards the far rail and Wayne Lordan fired Colour Of Love (8-1) up the centre of the track to beat them both.
The Panorammic Restaurant Maiden went to Jim Bolger's 12-1 shot Baitsileir who consigned his Limerick debut performance firmly to the past with a ready success from Mafi in the hands of Kevin Manning.
