Review wexford 27th Aug

< Myrine put a disappointing run last time out well behind her with a facile success in the Gorey Race at Wexford.

Sent off the 7-4 favourite, Jim Bolger's filly was settled in fourth of the five runners for much of the two-mile trip by Kevin Manning and was travelling sweetly when she moved up to challenge for the lead half a mile out.

The half-sister to 1998 Arc winner Sagamix was in charge by the two pole and stretched clear to score by 10 lengths without being asked a serious question.< Luxurious let down odds-on favourite-backers last time, but there were no such worries in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden, the first two-year-old maiden at the track.

Joseph O'Brien sat just off the pace on his father Aidan's juvenile (13-8 favourite), who quickly put the race to bed once she hit the front a furlong and a half out, easing clear to score by three and a half lengths.

Ballydoyle struck again when Quest For Gold (5-1) led all the way and battled on bravely for Sean Levey to hold off favourite Alburj by three-quarters of a length in the ITBA (Southeast) Supporting Wexford Maiden.

John Murphy's string is in superb form and he landed another prize when The Buck came out best in a thrilling finish to the Rocklands Service Station Handicap, ending a long losing run.

The 13-2 shot was sent on over three furlongs out by 7lb claimer Sam James and ran on strongly to deny hot favourite King Of Redfield by a neck.

James doubled up for the first time when the Tom Mullins-trained Cristal Island (11-2) collared Star Links 150 yards from home to take the Rosslare Handicap by a length.

Champion jumps trainer Willie Mullins then scooped another prize for the family when Eddie Linehan swept through to take the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap by three-quarters of a length on 4-1 favourite Phantasy Rock
