< Ohh Lala showed excellent resolution to claim the spoils in the Friday BBQ Evenings Handicap at Cork.
With a recent Tipperary spin under her belt, the 8-1 chance set out to make all but was passed just after halfway by Sexy Legs
She gave everything in response to Tom Madden's urgings, however, and battled back to prevail by half a length, with well-backed favourite Aggression out of the frame.
Aidan and Joseph O'Brien combined to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden with 6-4 market leader Eisenhower
The son of War Front offered plenty of encouragement when fourth on his Gowran Park introduction just nine days ago and came on significantly for that experience to see off Ostatnia by three-quarters of a length.
The Ballydoyle team followed up when Father Frost (7-4 favourite) made a winning start to his career in the Tickets Online @ corkracecourse.ie Maiden.< Frozen Lake appeared to have stolen a march with 100 yards to travel, but Father Frost eventually knuckled down and got up by a neck.< An Duine Uasal (11-4) also showed the benefit of a previous outing by breaking his duck in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Maiden.
Adrian Keatley's Alfred Nobel colt showed good pace before fading into seventh in the first juvenile race of the season at the Curragh, but had more strength in the finish this time and had three-quarters of a length to spare over the closing Mint Chai at the line.< Hi Emperor (5-1) had been off since September but showed smart acceleration when the splits came for him in the Great Value Social Package Handicap, and he accounted for Bubbly Bellini by half a length.< Aussie Guest (8-1) was another to defy an absence and benefited from a positive Denis Linehan ride to come out on top in the Follow Us On Twitter Apprentice Handicap.
