She's In The Game quickened up nicely to record a cosy success in the seven-furlong Sky Bet Handicap at Dundalk.

The Bill Farrell-trained filly had won under Neve Bennett here in November and scored again under the 7lb claimer, who has now rode her to four of her five career wins.

She travelled notably well to challenge passing the two pole and the 12/1 shot put the race to bed when asked for an effort over a furlong out.

The Starspangledbanner filly went on to record a two-and-three-quarter length win over Benavente

Bennett said: "She does (hold her form well), I actually can't believe how that filly has run for me so many times.

"We had her ready a couple of times and I just said to Bill that I thought she needs the break. He's very good with her and a very, very smart man. He knows himself what they need and by God he gives it to them and it works.

"In my opinion, I feel like she gets stronger every time. Every year she is getting better and better and stronger.

"I'm delighted with the filly."
