Dylan Browne McMonagle completed a 22/1 plus double as Martinelli showed a nice turn of foot in the straight to take the Summer Racing @ Limerick Handicap.

The Kieran Cotter-trained gelding made good headway to lead just inside the final furlong and kept on well to beat Heliogabalus by two and a quarter lengths. Harry The Rogue couldn’t find any extra a shorthead back in third.

Cotter said, “That's Dylan's first winner for us but he had ridden this horse to finish third in the past so knew him well.

"The plan today, with the better ground and a nice gallop, was to drop in, settle him and come with one run. He came home well.

"He ran over six (furlongs) the last day and while he shows pace at home, hasn't enough pace to see out a full six. This track and that ground suited."

Browne McMonagle was adding to the earlier maiden win of Valorous Power (100/30).
