< Fort Del Oro could have a big campaign ahead of her judging by the way she landed Listed honours in the Woodlands Stakes at Naas.
With just the five previous outings under belt, the latest of which came when scoring at this level last October, Edward Lynam's filly is a sprinter going places.
She was held up in mid-division by Billy Lee as Abstraction blazed a trail down the centre of the track but as the leaders began to tire, she finished over the top of them to beat Monsieur Joe by a cosy length as the 13-8 favourite.
Oisin Orr produced Louis Leroy (15-8 favourite) with a perfectly-timed challenge to initiate a double for Lynam in the It Pays To Bet With Tote Apprentice Handicap.< Bean Feasa was all the rage for the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden but Teofilo's half-sister was caught close home by Psychedelic Funk
The market leader took it up inside the final quarter-mile but was reeled in by Ger Lyons' 7-2 shot, who showed a smart level of ability on his introduction to prevail by half a length.< Elusive Heights was another successful newcomer for Lyons, grabbing Freeman on the line in the Join Tote Rewards Median Auction Maiden.< Roly Poly was another to make a successful start to her career, and displayed a smart change of gear in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
Perhaps surprisingly for an Aidan O'Brien first-string of three, the daughter of Irish 1000 Guineas heroine Misty For Me was available to back at 10-1 but quickened well in the closing stages to deny Gone To Russia by a short head.
O'Brien was also successful through Credit The Giver (4-1) in the Punchestown Preview Evening Handicap, with the trainer's son Donnacha doing the steering.
Jessie Harrington has her team in great form and St Brelades Bay was another winner for her in the Play The 10,000,000 Colossus Football Pool At thetote.com Handicap.
The 12-1 chance hit the front over a furlong out and clung on well when pressed by Fast In The Wind to score by a half a length.
