Review TRALEE 30TH AUG

The feature event at Tralee on Wednesday produced a terrific finish with three battling it out in the final furlong of the Guinness Gold Cup.

It was Mrs Gillow who found that little bit extra in the closing stages to land the Premier Handicap.

Whoneedswings made a bold bid from the front but was wore down in the final furlong by the Jim Bolger-trained filly.

Davy Moran's mount asserted close home for a three-parts-of-a-length verdict, with Whoneedswings just holding second by a short-head from Kevkat.

Erra Go On posted another winner for in-form handler Adrian McGuinness when running out a game winner of the Kirby's Bridge Inn/Lanterns Hotel Handicap.

Mick Kinane cruised up to challenge entering the straight on the 11/2f and he stuck to his guns well when asked for an effort in the final furlong to score by a neck from Grisham.

'I only got the horse in July but he has turned inside out since. I thought I might be stretching it a bit over a mile today. He'll go to Listowel now,' said McGuinness.

Silent Confession did it the hard way in the opening Banna Beach Leisure Centre, making all under Pat Smullen.

The Selkirk colt stayed on strongly in the closing stages to hold the late challenge of Rain Rush by half a length.

The Imperial Hotel Handicap witnessed another brave front-running performance, from Dapple Dawn.

Emmet Butterly had poached a few lengths turning for home on Eamon Tyrrell's charge but she only just held on as Imco Tendence flew home.

Tyrrell revealed that the winner could turn out again tomorrow. 'She appreciates a bit of dig but wouldn't want it too soft,' he added.

Balakan (4/7 to 9/10f) was an uneasy favourite in the Tom McGiff Heating & Plumbing Maiden Hurdle but ran out a good winner.

Paddy Flood's mount mastered runaway leader Mister Farmer at the last and stayed on strongly to score by a length-and-a-half.

Emotional Article returned to winning ways over hurdles when leading three out and keeping on well to score by a length from Mouftari in the Ballygarry House Hotel Owen McGillicuddy Cup Handicap Hurdle.

Noel Meade and Paul Carberry are back into their familiar winning groove and Billy Bonnie struck for the pair in the Kerry Petroleum Arthur Blennerhassett Novice Chase.
