Review killarney 30th Aug

< Soon (6-1) broke a long losing run with victory in the Vincent O'Brien Ruby Stakes at Killarney.

The daughter of Galileo was providing Aidan O'Brien with a fourth straight win in the Listed race, which was rearranged from Wednesday's abandoned card.

The winner's stablemate Tenth Star took them along under the trainer's son, Joseph, with Caprell and Rock Critic also to the fore.

There were five in a line passing the furlong marker but Seamie Heffernan brought the winner on the outside of the pack and ground it out to beat Alla Speranza by three parts of a length.

It was O'Brien jnr's turn in the spotlight as he partnered another daughter of Galileo, Greek Goddess to victory in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.

Sent off at 5-2 following an encouraging introductory fifth at the Curragh in June, the juvenile led at a sedate pace and although Salhooda and Nurpur looked big dangers with a furlong to run, the Ballydoyle representative had enough in the tank to repel the former by three-quarters of a length.

The Pat-Smullen partnered winner was held up early on but got a dream split between gallant front-runner Inis Meain and the well-backed Princeton Plains before going on to strike by a length.< Benalex Park (9-2) came from last to first to claim top spot in the Murphys Inter Vintners Pub Handicap.< Daigreen was all the rage in his bid to complete a quickfire hat-trick but he appeared to have every chance as front-runners Jappeli and Jackemil still held sway two out.

The complexion of the race changed completely in the final 100 yards, with Shane Foley bringing John Murphy's Benalex Park with a strong run to beat Pepparpot by half a length.
