Lyons filly puts on a good Show

Amazing Show stepped forward nicely from her debut to run out a cosy winner of the opening juvenile maiden at Down Royal.

Ger Lyons' charge had been third first time out at Naas earlier in the month and showed the benefit of that experience.

She was on the girth of front-runner St Kitts early in the seven-furlong contest before moving up to disputed passing the two pole.

Colin Keane sent the 3/1 joint-favourite on over a furlong from home and she soon stretched clear, easing down late on to record a length-and-three-quarters win over debutante Gan Teorainn

Assistant trainer Shane Lyons said: "She was very professional. The first day she was very green and lacklustre, she's allowed that first time and our horses come on an awful lot for the first run.

"She was very smart today, smart out and got a lovely lead off Wayne's horse. As soon as he (Keane) asked her to go on, she looked at the big screen and looked at the crowds so there is still a lot of improvement to come.

"All our fillies are all about black type. She is one of a couple of horses we still have in the Goffs Million. I presume that is where she might go.

"I know the second horse was catching her, but she was pulling up and the handbrake came on."
