she's rated 79 and that's a 50-80 race so I said I'd throw her into it because she'll be gone out of that now. The hope was to win and we'll probably head for a Listed race at the end of the month in Tipperary next. The whole thing with these sprinters is teaching them how to sprint and she's learning how to sprint. I thought Nathan gave her a lovely ride and did exactly what I asked him to do as well. The bit of cover helped her a lot. Today she still idled a bit when she hit the front but she put it to bed very quickly. She travels like a sprinter and is improving all the time. W McCreery, trainer

The Stewards enquired into an incident around the three furlong pole involving Snowstar, ridden by N.M. Crosse, placed first and Aggression, ridden by S.P. Davis, placed fifth. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned in the presence of W. McCreery, trainer and master of N.M. Crosse. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that N.M. Crosse was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly and having considered his record, suspended him for one raceday.
