Table Forty Six #8217;s power-packed finish in Dundalk reaped dividends as she chalked up her sixth career win, this time at 16/1.

Denis Cullen’s eight-year-old mare had her regular jockey Ross Coakley on board. They last teamed up for a victory in Wexford in August last year when racing off a handicap mark of 56. As a result of only being placed once in the intervening nine races (six on the sand), she was off an all-weather rating of 47 tonight.

Coakley delivered her in the last half furlong of this extended mile and a quarter handicap to collar Boronia (8/1) and Niall McCullagh and win by a head.

Market-mover Calle Aneto (14/1 to 9/1) grabbed a place dividend for her supporters as she finished third, a length behind the runner-up. Well Insured who got an 8lb hike in the weights for winning here over a mile and a half three weeks ago, didn’t trouble the judge tonight in coming in eighth.

The winner paid €24.30 for a win on the Tote.
