Lustful finishes strongly in Tipperary

Lustful was slowly away but swift in the finish of division two of the extended mile and a half handicap at Tipperary.

The four-year-old filly soon recovered on the inner to track Bog War and travelled well to lead approaching the turn in.

She was in charge in the final couple of furlongs and was given the office by Donnacha O'Brien to go on by two and three quarter lengths at the line.

The 7/2 joint favourite obliged on her second start for Joseph O'Brien having been with Willie McCreery last year. Danehill Quest came in second at 14/1 while gambled-on Yo Tambien (14/1 - 9/1) rewarded each-way punters in third.

Joseph O'Brien said: "She had a nice run for us the first day in a competitive race at Gowran and came forward from that and the bit of juice in the ground is a help to her.

"She goes back to Six Perfections and it is a great pedigree and she was bought for breeding. The aim was to get her to win and she'll be covered next year.

"We'll try and win a couple with her and try to win as much prize money as we can."
