Eastern Peace strikes on second start for O'Sullivan Eastern Peace (4/1) appreciated a step-up in trip to the extended mile and a quarter in the Bar One Racing Acca Boost Maiden at Dundalk. Fourth over a mile here on her all-weather and stable debut last month, the daughter of Mohaather tracked the leaders under Shane Foley and came down the stands' side to lead a furlong out before staying on well to beat Matrice by three-parts of a length. Ross O'Sullivan, who trains the winner for the Fall Forward Syndicate, commented: "The trip was the difference, I think. Shane rode her the last day and he thought the same, a mile and a-quarter. He said she could go further.  "Obviously, we were afraid of Robson's horse (De Aguiar, Square Necker) and when he came out, it was a big help.  "She's a good, honest filly that will hopefully progress. Loves the surface and the trip was fine.  "Lovely to win a maiden with her, puts a bit of value into her. A nice filly to have, good bunch of lads involved in her and they got a great kick out of it." Regarding the winner's respectable run in a Curragh Group 2 last year, he added: "There was (a notable piece of form last season) and I was hoping that that wasn't a flash in the pan. On her homework, Shane was very happy when he rode her in a couple of bits of work. He said this was the ideal place for her.  "She probably will keep going. She looked great this evening and if she keeps taking it, we will keep going right up to Christmas anyway. We'll leave her alone after that for a little break."
