RACE REPORT
After one false start the field got on their way with Neavnach setting the early pace from Oranmore II and Featherbrain. On settling down after 2 furlongs Featherbrain took up the running, followed in close order by Oranmore II and Lady Flush. This order was maintained until reaching the chains where Lady Flush took over, though Sabine Queen was travelling ominously well. At the distance Sabine Queen took over whilst still cantering, running on to win by a comfortable 4 lengths, with a further 4 lengths back to Featherbrain, with Neavnach fourth and Oranmore II last. |
