Review tipperary 29th Jun
< Cirin Toinne has found her form and bettered last weekend's Ulster Oaks second with victory in the Follow TipperaryRaces On Twitter Rated Race.
Kevin Manning was allowed an uncontested lead on Jim Bolger's 5-2 chance, who kicked at the top of the straight.
Favourite Onlyhuman tried to give chase but is still inexperienced and although he eventually made inroads into Cirin Toinne's lead, the line came in time and she was successful by a length.< Pious Alexander got an all-important win next to her name after outclassing her Tipperary Racecourse Maiden rivals.
The 8-13 favourite, who is a half-sister to Dandy Man and Anthem Alexander, made rapid headway to take up the running before the furlong marker and she careered away to account for Sammyjade by a couple of lengths, with gaining some black type surely the next objective.
There were some interesting newcomers in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden but experience told.< Live Twice looked like scoring when heading Pure Action but she was mown down late by the Joseph O'Brien-trained Ruby Shoes (10-1), who showed little on her Cork debut but stepped forward to win by two lengths.< Hamley (11-4) bounced back to form to claim top honours in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.
Billy Lee went after The Tulip when the favourite hit the front a quarter of a mile from the finish and proved too strong in the closing stages to go in by half a length.< Zippy displayed absolutely nothing on the all-weather at the beginning of the year but showed her appreciation for the return to turf by landing the Racing Again @ TipperaryRaces July 6th Handicap at odds of 16-1.
Johnny Levins and Donagh O'Connor followed up when El Tren (6-1) took the TipperaryRaces.ie Handicap (Div 2), while Lucca (10-1) won the first division and Storm Ranger (12-1) broke through in the Buy Tickets Online At TipperaryRaces.ie Handicap.
