Jazz shocks as Falesa flops

Jazz Girl sprang a 20/1 shock when running out a gutsy winner of the fillies handicap at Killarney.

Andy Oliver 's charge bounced back to winning ways, having been well held at the Curragh last time.

Gary Carroll drove his mount into the lead a furlong-and-a-half out, from front-runner Balrath Hope but she was soon strongly pressed by Livia Galilei

Jazz Girl stayed on well inside the final furlong to assert and held the late charge of Queens Visit by half a length.

The winner had scored at Navan back in May but could only finish mid-division on her latest outing in softer ground at the Curragh late last month.

"They went a nice even gallop and she did it nicely. She's very tough and game," said Carroll afterwards.

"That's my fourth winner on her and I've had great luck for the owner (Garrett Freyne)."

Hat-trick seeking 8/13 shot Beach Of Falesa had travelled smoothly into contention, two furlongs out, after being settled in rear early on.

She failed to pick up when asked a question, however, and was a one-paced fourth.
