Glor Tire ridden by Rory Cleary for Jim Bolger, made it four wins from her last five starts in the  @gowranpark1 On Twitter Fillies Race.

The 15/8 favourite made all and found plenty for pressure to beat Akecheta by a length and a half. 

The hardy daughter of Teofilo, running for the fourth time in 15 days, had won twice in a row over course and distance and followed up at Leopardstown before finishing unplaced in a premier handicap at Navan on her previous outing.

"We very seldom work her at home and she keeps it all for the track," said Bolger.

"On the odd occasion that we'd work her I'd always ask 'would she get to 100' and the answer was always 'yes'; she is getting close to that now.

"She is very straightforward and we'll have a look at the Ulster Derby on Saturday. Rory (Cleary) is very happy that she would stay the 1m4f so we'll see how she is."
