Good tactics by O'Brien on World
World Of Good (Donnacha O'Brien) holds off Dandy Dude

World Of Good opened her account at the eighth attempt when making most in the LMFM Radio Apprentice Maiden at Dundalk.
The John Murphy-trained filly was drawn on the wide outside but broke smartly and Donnacha O’Brien elected to take a prominent pitch.
The easy to back 11/2 chance poached a lead of about three lengths entering the straight, and this proved vital as she just held on in the closing stages.
The winning margin was a fast diminishing head over Dandy Dude with White Lotus a length and a half away in third.
O’Brien said, “It wasn’t the plan to make it but they were going so slow that I thought it was better to be in front. She got a very easy lead, and held on well at the finish.”
