Supagirl outstays rivals under Foley
Supagirl and Shane Foley lead them home

The three-year-old handicap went to Supagirl (3/1) who made all and fended off several challenges in the straight.
Eventual runner-up Haroya and third home Helpmeout both looked threatening on the climb to the finish but the winner responded well to Shane Foley’s urgings and was well on top at the line.
A length and three quarters of a length were the winning distances.
Winning trainer Jessica Harrington said: "She was probably crying out for it (trip) last year. She stayed well and he (Shane Foley) said she wasn't doing anything, ears pricked all the way up the straight. When pressed, she had plenty in there. Shane was happy with her.
"She loved that ground, she doesn't want extremes - she doesn't want it very soft and she doesn't want it firm. As long as it is in between, that is the main thing.
"If she is alright, she will run again on Saturday (1m2f handicap at Leopardstown).
"I think she will probably get a mile and a half."
