Gypsy Woman proved too strong for her rivals as she made all for a convincing success in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at Roscommon.

The Ger Lyons-trained daughter of Cotai Glory had been third on her two previous outings this season and went to post a 4/5 shot in today's seven-furlong contest.

Gary Carroll asked his mount for an effort passing the two pole and she stretched clear in the closing stages for a five-and-a-half length win.

Shane Lyons said:- “It was very straightforward and she did what we expecting her to do. She was entitled to do that on her last couple of runs.

“She loves that ground. She's a work in progress and is still filling into her frame. She'll be a lovely filly for the backend and for next year.”
