Bocca Baciata beats Easter© Photo Healy Racing
Bocca Baciata made it third time lucky when getting off the mark in the fillies maiden at Navan.
The Jessica Harrington-trained daughter of Big Bad Bob had ran well in two hot maidens before today and gained a deserved success under Shane Foley.
The 9/4 favourite proved easy enough to back having traded as short as 5/4 this morning but came with a strong run to lead over a furlong out.
She kept on well in the closing stages to post a two-length success over promising Ballydoyle debutante Easter
Harrington's daughter Emma Galway said afterwards:- “The form of her two previous runs has been working out well.
“She will definitely be stronger next year, and will be a lovely filly over a mile and a quarter or a mile and a half.”
