< Missunited followed up her Galway Hurdle success with a victory on the Flat at Ballybrit, as she landed the Listed Ardilaun Hotel Oyster Stakes.
Mick Winters' mare was the 4-1 second favourite for the contest and made her move approaching the final furlong.
Odds-on favourite Eye Of The Storm gave chase in the final furlong, but Seamie Heffernan had evidently timed his move perfectly, with Missunited finishing strongly to hold the favourite at bay by three quarters of a length.< Carlo Bugatti was a gutsy winner of the Donnelly's Of Barna EBF Maiden for Aidan and Joseph O'Brien.
Held up off the pace, the 5-2 chance was off the bridle before main rival and market leader Whitey O'Gwaun, but swept past on the home turn and kept finding just enough to record a three quarters of a length success.< Colour Blue got off the mark at the fifth attempt in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden Stakes.
Sent to the front just after turning for home by Gary Carroll, the 7-4 favourite always had the upper hand from then on, coming home a length and a quarter ahead of Sophie's World
Paul Deegan's Bint Nayef gave apprentice champion-elect Connor King another winner in a fantastic season for the rider when just holding on in the Sean Cleary Memorial Maiden.
The 11-2 chance had just seen off Vote Of Confidence close home, but only prevailed in a photo finish from Tonabrocky who flew home in the closing stages.< Star Links (14-1) burst out of the pack entering the home straight and kept on nicely under Ronan Whelan to land the Maggie May's Handicap.< Harpist (3-1) struck for David Wachman and Wayne Lordan in the James P. Cunningham Electrical Handicap when pulling two and a half lengths clear of Tough Lady while Conor Hoban guided Andrew Oliver's Stephen Hero (6-1) to victory in the Galway Apprentice Handicap.
