Miracle Steps left her previous form well behind to run out a most convincing winner of the first division of the apprentice handicap at Dundalk.

Produced by Shane Foley to lead over a furlong out the Theatrical filly bounded clear to record an easy nine-length success over Fandango Boy

"She's a filly that came in late last year. She had three runs, two on soft ground, and then we took her to Southwell and she didn't handle the surface," revealed trainer Andrew Oliver.

"I've always thought she had plenty of ability. We finally got her into a race here last time and she ran terrible - we were hugely surprised.

"She's in again on Friday here and we'll enter her again for next week. She'll be campaigned until the end of the season."
