Queen proves tough in opener

Queens Visit battled gamely to land the spoils in the opening fillies maiden at Clonmel. Quick Glimpse attempted to make all in the ten furlong contest but was strongly pressed down the straight.
Queens Visit threw down her challenge turning for home and there were three in a line passing the furlong marker as Hassaya joined in.
Wayne Lordan drove the even-money favourite into the lead inside the final furlong and she stuck on well to score by three-parts-of-a-length from the front-runner.
Hassaya was just half a length back in third.
The Tommy Stack-trained winner had run with plenty of promise on her debut at Cork when fourth, despite being sent off 28/1.
"She stays well and we'll find a mile-and-a-half or mile-and-a-quarter fillies handicap for her now," said Fozzy Stack afterwards.
