Two for Smullen at Tipp at 43/1
Job done - Allegra Tak under Pat Smullen at Tipperary

Put in at around 11/4 this morning on the back of her Naas win, Allegra Tak s price drifted all the way out to 9/2 but the Invincible Spirit mare still won convincingly to bring up a Tipperary double for Pat Smullen (had a treble here yesterday).
Half-an-hour earlier on the mark on Johnny Lynch here, in the Join The Tipperary Races Supporter's Club Handicap, Smullen always had the Harry Rogers-trained Allegra Tak on the pace.
She led over a furlong out before quickly asserting to account for Kateeva by four and three parts of a length. Srucahan (8s this morning and 7/2 out to 9/2 on course) finished third whilst the other 'money horse,' Faleena missed the break and came home in fifth place.
Rogers commented: "It wasn't a great race but she did it well. She's probably improving with age. I thought five might have been a bit sharp but she was very quick.
"She'll go to Cork now for a conditions race on Friday week." (TW & EM)
