Ina Mina (4/1) ran right away from the opposition for a facile success in the Racing TV Handicap at Tramore.

This was her breakthrough victory on her third start for Mick Mulvany having formerly been with William Haggas and Ken Condon. Gotta Catch'em All and Out On Friday went off quickly and the former soon won the battle for the lead. He was in trouble a furlong and a-half down, though, as Ina Mina and Wesley Joyce loomed large.

She soon took over and sprinted away in the final furlong to come in by a whopping 15 lengths from runner-up Rockview Consort (6/1).

Mulvany said: "I have her about seven weeks now and we are finding out a little bit about her along the way. She is a filly that seems to be strengthening up and hopefully now the handicapper doesn't go mad because she won too easy.

"I don't know where we will go with her next, we might go back to Ballinrobe and obviously we might look at Galway too. We will see what the handicapper does and then work from there.

"We are only finding out about her and if you looked at her maiden runs, she is probably a better class than those type of horses. Now that she knows where the winning line is, hopefully she'll keep doing it."
