Russ Warren’s brindle justified her 4-5f SP with a strong finish to get home in 28.09(-40) for the 480m. It was her 12th race of the year and she has been second four times.
Lisa Stephenson’s consistent sprinter Ballycowen Colm (Head Bound-Ballycowen Sal, Oct 14) moved into joint second with his sixth win in nine races to date. (Stretch the sequence back into 2017 and the record is 11/14.)
Candlelight Fire (Ballymac Vic-Droopys Peaches, Apr 14) remains unbeaten in 2018 with a 3/3 record with a 2885 (-30) run or 500m. Extend that back to last October and the British bred has 9/10, the sole turnover at the paws of King Turbo.
