True Self opens Flat account in style

True Self powered clear in the closing stages to run out a seriously impressive winner of the mile-and-a-half maiden at Cork.

Willie Mullins' charge came to lead over two furlongs from home, under Colin Keane, and soon asserted.

The even-money favourite stretched further clear in the closing stages to post a nine length success.

True Self had been runner-up to Cliffs Of Dooneen on her first Flat outing at Bellewstown.

Keane said:- "It was like a piece of work for her and was very straightforward.

“She is a lovely filly and I'd say she could either go up or down in trip.

"She could improve for the run because she had a little blow and I'd say you're yet to see the best of her."
