Review ballinrobe 28th May

Mojita (evens) bounced back from a disappointing last start to claim a second career win in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (Fillies) Race at Ballinrobe.

The Kevin Condon-trained daughter of Montjeu put in an uncharacteristic run when letting down favourite-backers at Navan earlier in the month but she set the record straight by making every yard in tenacious style.

Shane Foley guided the four-year-old to a three-and-three-quarter-length victory over Cloudracer , who was second throughout.

The popular Beau Michael defied top-weight in the opening Ladies Day 26th June Handicap.

Adrian McGuinness' versatile gelding hadn't tasted success since taking a Grade Three novice chase at Tipperary in October 2010, but he was sent off a 13-2 chance under Ian Brennan.

Favourite Sounds Of Thunder made what looked like a race-winning move at the furlong pole but Beau Michael, who was making it three from three at the track, finished with a late flourish to take the prize by a length and a quarter.

Jimtown enjoyed a step up in trip when scoring in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden.

Placed on four of his 13 previous outings, Kevin Prendergast's 4-1 chance kicked on over a furlong out and went further clear up the straight.

Leyland made eye-catching headway to take second but the winner, ridden by Declan McDonogh, passed the post with four and a half lengths in hand.

The Mulholland Bookmakers Maiden Hurdle went to 3-1 favourite Lean Times , partnered by Davy Russell.

Another winner on the night who was sent straight to the front, he had to fend off separate challenges from King Malik , Lockdown and Easy Mate , before going on to beat the fast-finishing Flaming Hymm by a length and a quarter.

Discoteca caused a minor upset when providing Russell with his second winner of the night in the Tipperary Water Hurdle.

Darroun was the odds-on favourite but Gordon Elliott's Discoteca (15-8) lowered his colours with a ready success.
