< Rizeena delivered a decisive thrust in the final half-furlong to snatch a dramatic victory in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh.
Sent off a 9-2 chance for the Group One contest, Clive Brittain's Queen Mary heroine missed the trouble on the inside as she attacked from off the pace under man-of-the-moment James Doyle.
Favourite Kiyoshi edged right making her run and though she finished a head second, she was demoted to third behind one of her victims, Tapestry < Great White Eagle cemented his status as a likely Classic contender among the powerful Ballydoyle battalions with a convincing success in the Group Three Go And Go Round Tower Stakes.
Sent off the 1-3 favourite after winning a good race at Naas on his debut, Joseph O'Brien's mount tracked Remember You until pulled to the outside to overpower his rivals for an impressive two-length victory.
The other Group Three contest on the card also went to the O'Briens as Say (4-1), narrowly beaten in a York Listed event last time, picked up nicely between the two pole and the one before sweeping past the front-running Aloof to take the Dance Design Stakes by a length and a quarter.
The Ballydoyle team introduced another potentially smart youngster in Roderic O'Connor's full-sister Dazzling (11-4) in the Sapphire EBF Fillies Maiden. She showed a nice turn of foot from the front to beat stablemate Shell House by two and three-quarter lengths.
Aidan and Joseph O'Brien completed a fabulous four-timer through Victory Song (11-10 favourite) in the Unaccompanied Maiden.
Joanna Morgan's Moran Gra (12-1) was driven into the lead half a furlong out by Ronan Whelan to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Irish Cambridgeshire by a length and three-quarters.
Johnny Murtagh teamed up with champion jumps trainer Willie Mullins to take the Irish Stallion Farms EBF 'Be My Guest' Fillies Handicap on Levanto (11-2), producing her late and driving her two and a quarter lengths clear.
