Review roscommon 28th Sep

< The Game Changer claimed Grade Three honours at Roscommon when landing the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Kilbegnet Chase.

Gordon Elliott's charge had a few doubters having failed to get his head in front at Galway last time but he produced a classy display here, giving the promising Sizing Platinum 3lb and a fair beating.

The 11-10 winner sat in the slipstream of his main rival for much of the contest but a fine leap at the second last saw him hit the front and he stuck on well thereafter, eventually coming home two and a half lengths to the good.< Red Stars (11-8 fav) built on a promising run behind Anamba and Coolmore at Leopardstown when getting off the mark in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Maiden.

Although a little keen in the early stages, the daughter of Manduro still had plenty left in the tank when sent for home rounding the final bend and quickened away in good style to record a two and a half length success.< Expreso Brasileiro has been kept busy of late but claimed just reward for his efforts when romping to an impressive triumph in the Follow Roscommon On Facebook Handicap.

The 9-4 market leader enjoyed a dream run on the inside and picked up really well once sent on by Billy Lee, stretching four lengths clear in the closing stages.< Edith Somerville has been proving expensive to follow but repaid her supporters when claiming first prize in the Munsboro Maiden Hurdle at odds of 11-2.

The five-year-old has returned a beaten favourite the last twice but made no mistake this time round, seeing off Time For Action by two and three quarter lengths.

There was a big priced winner of the www.roscommonracecourse.ie Maiden as Cape Aqraan defied his 33-1 price tag in good style while Tawseef (8-1) saw off Mallory Heights by half a length in the Athlone Apprentice Handicap.
