Shanghai Beauty completed a hat-trick at Bellewstown tonight with a hard fought victory in the Castleview Homes Handicap.

Ken Condon 's charge won at Navan earlier this month and at Tipperary last month. She was sent to post the 10/3 favourite to supplement those victories.

10 claimer Andrew Breslin, who gained his first victory on the filly last time, retained the ride and produced his mount to lead inside the final furlong for a three-parts-of-a-length win from Go Kart

“She's in a good vein of form,” said Condon.

“She just needed the claim there. Andrew knows her from home and obviously rode her in the apprentice race. Everyone was happy to keep him on board and he did well.

“I'm delighted with her. She won her maiden here last year and course form is always a help.

“She's very adaptable ground wise and has won on soft and on good to firm at Navan.

“We'll keep her going while she's happy. She has a nice pedigree and will be a nice addition to the paddocks for the owners in time. Hopefully there is another one in her.”
