- Review naas 16th Apr
Review naas 16th Apr
< Inxile returned to Naas for the feature Woodlands Stakes and landed his third course victory in impressive style.
Dandy Nicholls' sprinter was twice a winner at the track two seasons ago, when this Listed contest was one of his successes, and he never looked like being beaten this time.
Fran Berry was soon bowling along in front on the six-year-old (5-4 favourite) and the race was in the bag a furlong and a half out, with Knock Stars chasing him home at a respectful three-length distance.
Kevin Prendergast's filly Obligada (2-1) showed the benefit of race-fitness as she added to her recent Limerick gains by winning the Naas Racecourse On Facebook Race.< Honey Of A Kitten set out to make all and saw off favourite Deire Na Sli in the straight, but Sam James brought Obligada from the rear and she just got the better of the argument to score by a neck.
John Oxx introduced a promising sort in Creekside (4-1 joint-favourite) in the colours of Sheikh Mohammed in the Naas Median Auction Maiden.
Johnny Murtagh led all the way on the three-year-old, who galloped on strongly to hold Catch The Eye by three lengths, with the pair finishing well clear of the opposition.
Dermot Weld's Northern Rocked (9-2 favourite) was put up 9lb for his Leopardstown victory last weekend, but it didn't anchor him and Leigh Roche pushed him five lengths clear to romp away with the Summer Barbeque Evenings Handicap.< Cheviot challenged a furlong out after finding a gap in the Go Racing In Kildare Handicap and Reggie Roberts' 13-2 shot edged out West Coast Dream by a short head under Niall McCullagh.
Willie McCreery's Andalucia Lady (14-1) grabbed long-time leader Secret Hero in the shadow of the post to take the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap in the hands of Mark Enright.
