Lyons and Keane double their Dundalk score

Ger Lyons and Colin Keane completed a quick Dundalk double when Cocoa Beach added to their gains from half an hour previous with Rock In Peace when gaining the day in the www.stageandlighting.ie Rated Race.

"She's been running over five and six furlongs, and really appreciated the step up to seven furlongs," said Shane Lyons.

"She was a bit keen early doors and Colin got her settled, and she looked impressive there.

"David (Spratt, owner) is planning the breeding route with her and already has her booked into Harzand."

In this seven furlong affair, Cocoa Beach (14s into 9s) came good on start two for current connections, making her ground from the rear on the outer two furlongs out.

She hit the front inside the final furlong and went on for a length and a half win over the strong finishing Split The Atom
