Ano Manna (4/1jf) registered consecutive Killarney festival wins today, landing the Gain The Advantage Series Handicap (div II) to add to a course-and-distance mile success in July.
A year-younger half-sister to winning trainer Johnny Feane's Group 2-placed Rockingham Handicap-winner Ano Syra, Ano Manna today defeated runner-up Skontonovski by a half-length.
Winning jockey Leigh Roche steered Ano Manna to her July success and today reported “I was a lot closer to the pace than I wanted but we went no pace.
“We were drawn wide but we jumped and I let her roll forward. I was able to dictate from there on and she was able to hold on so it was ideal.
“She travels well and would have needed something to bring her along further but her ability got her through.”
