Keane doubles up on Dance Night Andday

Colin Keane completed a quick double at Naas when taking the TRM Kurasyn Handicap aboard Dance Night Andday

The Ross O’Sullivan-trained filly made headway between horses to challenge over a furlong out and kept on well inside the final 100 yards to score by three quarters of a length. Midnight Fire took the runner-up spot with Coumshingaun a length and a half further back in third.

Keane was also on the mark in the previous juvenile maiden aboard the Ger Lyons-trained newcomer One Smack Mac

O’Sullivan said, “She was working very well at home and I was a little bit nervous running her over six because I thought it would be a bit short. Colin won on her over seven last year.

“The key to her is good ground so we said we’d take a chance and run her.

“Colin was surprised how much pace she showed and there are plenty of options for her.

“She’s a homebred filly for the Jones’ from Clane and we’d like to try and get some black type for her.”
