< Juniper Berry s brave attempt to make all in the Navigation Road Rated Race was cruelly denied by the fast-finishing Ready To Rocknroll at Cork.
Seamie Heffernan was quick to send Juniper Berry to the front and she had seen off all but one of her rivals approaching the final furlong.
Kevin Manning inched ever closer on the 6-1 winner, before getting up close home to score by a head.< Scarlet O'Hara showed the benefit of a recent run when finishing a solid winner of the Newmarket Maiden.
Dermot Weld's even-money favourite finished second at the Curragh on her first start and made no mistake here, hitting the front two furlongs out and going on to win by a length and a half from Karma Lina
Julie Burke timed it right on board Springfort who made every yard of the running on board Springfort in the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap.
Burke kept something up her sleeve on the -1 chance and when push came to shove, the pair shot clear to beat Duck Scary by two lengths.
Another apprentice to hit the target was Ben Curtis, who drove Rue De Cabestan to victory in the Killetra Handicap.< Just Like Ivy attempted to make every yard of the running, but Curtis was always in touch on the 9-1 winner before going on inside the final furlong to score.
Michael Bowe's smart hurdler Sweet Kiln (2-1) got off the mark on the level when getting up in the dying strides to land the Waterford And Tramore Supporters Club (Q.R.) Maiden at Tramore.
Annees D'Or went into a clear lead but once that had been eroded at the furlong pole, Sweet Kiln just got the better of Hu Ha Jo by a neck.< Master'n Commander (8-1) proved too strong for his rivals in the feature Madra Dog Foods Handicap.
