Treasuring plunders gold in Tipperary Treasuring put in a good performance to see off her four rivals in the Nursery at Tipperary. There was plenty of merit in her effort as she was 4lbs worse off with India Rain for beating that horse half a length, when the pair were second and third in Down Royal respectively. In this assignment, she was sent into the lead by Colin Keane after a furlong and she had the opposition in trouble coming to the business end. She maintained the gallop in the final furlong to win by a length and three parts to justify even-money favouritism. India Rain (11/8) came in second, a neck in front of My Silver Nails. Trainer Ger Lyons said: "That was grand. When we saw her Nursery mark we said it was worth a chance over a quick five (furlongs). Soft ground would make it a test and we think she wants a bit further. "She is showing plenty of boot and had a hiccup before Down Royal which left her a tad shy for that race so we knew she was better coming here than going there. "The plan was to come over (to the stands' side): historically there is, what they call it in Lingfield, a golden highway here. Whatever chance we had, it had to come out wide. "We'll now have a look at something like the Round Tower or Curragh Stakes at the end of the month and start hunting black-type with her." Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes
