Shane Foley made it two from two in Tramore with another front-running effort on board Miss Snossyboots for Michael Halford in the mile and a half rated race.

The 9/4 joint favourite raced with a clear lead throughout most of this contest and strode home by six lengths without any of her rivals challenging her. Boom Or Bush the other 9/4 joint favourite, could make no impression in second.

Shane Foley said: "It was the plan to make all, I couldn't believe how easy I was getting it to be honest.

"It was like riding a bit of work for the first mile. I quickened then and I couldn't believe they didn't even come to me, I just stayed sitting on her and just sprinted then.

"She had a couple of nice runs and she handled the track."

The winner is owned by Waterford native Nicholas Hartery who is a nephew of famous Waterford hurler John Keane.

Foley also made all on All Of Me in the opener.
