French Mix a revelation on Polytrack

French Mix turned Division Two of the mile and a half handicap at Dundalk into a procession under Wayne Lordan.

Joseph O'Brien 's three-year-old filly, lobbed along in second approaching the home bend.

She eased past Rock On Rosie entering the straight and was given the office with less than two furlongs to go.

It was noticeable that all 13 rivals had come off the bridle as she thundered clear on the Polytrack.

Nobody could lay a glove on her as she hit the line seven and a half lengths to the good.

She landed a punt from 14/1 to 8/1. Gold Struck got up for second at 12/1. Weightfordave (5/2jf) was three parts of a length back in third.

Wayne Lordan said: “It was her first time on the surface and I just jumped out and rode a straightforward race. She quickened up really well, went to the line well and got the mile-and-a-half well.

“I think she enjoyed the track and picked up well on it. Her last run was over a mile-and-three and up another furlong, on this track, was a plus.”
