- Shesadream upsets Walk On The Moone

Shesadream upsets Walk On The Moone
Shesadream lands full of running after the last

Shesadream got first run on 2/9 favourite Walk On The Moone and repelled her at the end of the 2m3f mares' maiden hurdle in Limerick.
Jack Kennedy switched his mount to the right to race upsides the leader North Of Nashville on the run to the second last. This caused the tracking Walk On The Moone to have to switch out for daylight.
Shesadream jumped into the lead at that flight from North Of Nashville as Walk On The Moone didn't meet it on a good stride in third.
Again, Shesadream (10/1) was swift over the last as she set sail for home. Walk On The Moone ran on well in the closing stages but was a never nearer second at the line, beaten by three parts of a length by Gordon Elliott's winner. North Of Nashville (4/1) dropped three lengths further back in third.
Kennedy said: "She jumped and travelled great and had a good look around when she hit the front so there'll be a good bit of improvement in her.
"I came out around a couple of horses early in the straight and didn't want to let anything down my inner and came back in across (Paul Townend on Walk On The Moone). I ended up being in front a bit soon but had to do what I did, and it worked out.
"She was looking around and half lugging across the track in the closing stages but I was confident if something came to me, she'd pull out more. She is a lovely filly."
