Review roscommon 4th Jul

Mon 4th Jul 2011, 20:50

< Quest For Peace (3/1) bridged the gap from maiden company to Listed level with victory in the Lenebane Stakes at Roscommon.

Making just his fourth racecourse appearance, Aidan O'Brien's son of Galileo went in pursuit of Haziyna when that rival, bidding to give John Oxx his fourth consecutive win in the race, set sail for home early in the straight.

Quest For Peace, who is still in Saturday's John Smith's Cup at York, eventually hit top gear inside the final furlong and collared Haziyna for a length-and-a-quarter call.< Lightening Pearl had chased home subsequent Group Three winner Experience on her debut and confirmed that promise in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

Ger Lyons' 9/4 chance went head to head with Among Equals in front and after seeing off that challenger, she found more for Johnny Murtagh when strong-travelling favourite Catamount loomed up, and went away again for a two-length verdict.

Similarly, Lady Pastrana (7/1) stuck to her guns really well to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Maiden.

Niall McCullagh sent the daughter of Key Of Luck to the front approaching the two-furlong marker and she stayed on to cross the line a length ahead of Nine Bean Rows giving trainer Brian Galvin his first winner on the Flat.< Core Element has certainly made up for lost time since a spell on the sidelines and rattled up a hat-trick with a three-quarter-length defeat of Compelling in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.

After sitting out 20 months and joining Shane Buggy, she tasted success at Dundalk and Sligo, and followed up here as a 7/1 shot.< An Mhi (5/1) brought the only relatively recent winning form to the table in the Supervalu's Roscommon Handicap and just got the best of a head-bobbing finish with Kenton Street while Whatever It Takes beat Unique Style in the Roscommon Handicap.
