Little Sweetheart showed plenty of dash again as she made all to claim the opening five-furlong handicap at Dundalk tonight.
The filly had used similar tactics when scoring at the track last month and repeated the dose when scoring for trainer Pat Flynn.
Danny Grant 's mount edged left under two furlongs from home, brushing against the rail, but it made no impact on her momentum as she stuck on gamely in the closing stages for a three-parts-of-a-length victory. Mr Right just got up in a bunch finish for the places, a nose ahead of Times In Anatefka with Shinyhappyjohn a short-head back in fourth.
The winner had been well backed this morning from 2/1 into 11/10 and eventually returned the 13/8 favourite.
Grant said afterwards:- "She's all speed and only just gets the five furlongs. She went a bit left and just touched the rail early in the straight but I'd put that down to just changing her legs."
