Geocentric lands the odds in Navan

Ger Lyons' Geocentric built upon her debut second to take the spoils in the five furlong juvenile maiden at Navan.
The 2/11 favourite raced prominently behind Speedacus who blazed a trail down the centre of the course.
Colin Keane pushed Geocentric to the fore a furlong and a half out and she was ridden to go and win her race flashing past the furlong pole.
Speedacus, to his credit, kept trying in second but had to settle for second, beaten by a length and three parts.
Assistant trainer Shane Lyons said: “We don't really like running them back too soon but she would have been working today and it was a local track.
“She did it well, she had to do it on her own. We'll bring her back home now, give her a bit of time, and we won't rush her.
“She's a filly that will get six furlongs and will get a bit of easier ground as well.
“She's done her job, she got a good lead there and Colin was very happy with her.
“She has a good page and getting some black-type would obviously be the plan.”
Kodiac filly Geocentric finished runner-up in Naas last weekend behind a double winner (Hadman).
