Panstarr makes all for Bolger & Manning The Jim Bolger trained Panstarr made all to take the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden under Kevin Manning. A good fourth on debut at Dundalk in March, she was then third on her next start, before disappointing on her three starts since. Her last effort came in a handicap, and back in maiden company this evening she was sent off a 14/1 chance in the colours of Godolphin. She was ridden from the two furlong pole, and kept on best inside the final furlong to score by four and a quarter lengths. Dawn Choir finished second under Declan McDonogh for Ellmarie Holden at 4/1 (from 5s), while Artistic Melody (5s to 4s) was another half a length back in third for Colin Keane and Ger Lyons. Breeze was sent off the 6/4 favourite, but she could only manage a disappointing fifth for Chris Hayes and Fozzy Stack. Ger Flynn, Bolger's travelling head lad, said afterwards: "Kevin said he'd take the bull by the horns today. She broke well and floated along in front. He said she was pricking her ears the whole way up the straight, and she relished the step up in trip. "She did it really well and is a nice filly going forward. She's a nicely bred filly so it's great to get that win." Additional reporting by Alan Magee
