Review fairyhouse 24th Oct

Tue 24th Oct 2017, 17:40

< Truffles regained the winning thread with a dominant display in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap at Fairyhouse.

The Sheila Lavery-trained 6-1 shot was always prominent in the hands of 7lb claimer Gavin Ryan, who kept plenty up his sleeve for the business end.< Enjoy Life and Its All For Luck tried to make a race of it but Truffles wasn't for catching and crossed the line a length and a quarter to the good over Enjoy Life.< Castrogiovanni (11-2) broke his duck with a comprehensive success in the Gillian Carey 'AIRO/Irish Field Service To Racing Award Winner' Median Auction Maiden.

Joseph O'Brien's youngster looked exposed but raised his game, hitting the front inside the final quarter-mile and stretching five and a half lengths away from Bronze Age < Thiswaycadeaux made it third-time lucky with victory in the Big Picture Communications Maiden.

The 6-1 chance had shown promise over a mile-plus on her previous outing but sprinting appears to be her game after she came with her run inside the last of the six furlongs to beat Massa Lubrense by half a length.

Five flashed past the two-furlong marker almost as one in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden, with Decision Time travelling much the best.

John Kiely's 2-1 shot didn't run away with it when Emmet McNamara pressed the button but she did enough to see off Alaykha by a length and a quarter.< Rince Deireanach (5-1) hadn't shown a massive amount in four previous appearances but was buoyed by the application of cheekpieces and beat Ellona by five lengths in the Shelbourne F.C. Race Day Nursery Handicap.< Ask Katie (7-1) ran down Harry Speed to land top honours in the Racing Again November 7th Handicap, while divisions one and two of the Christmas Parties At Fairyhouse December 16th Handicap went to Aa Bee See (4-1) and the Colin Keane-ridden 7-2 joint-favourite Les Arceaux
