ALICE Springs mowed down her rivals in the last 100 yards to win the Group 1 Coolmore Fastnet Rock Matron Stakes in tremendous style at Leopardstown.

Ryan Moore was happy to hold the 5-1 chance at the rear of the field as Creggs Pipes made the running from Jet Setting. Frankie Dettori brought Persuasive with a strong challenge, but had no answer to the Aidan O'Brien-trained Alice Springs, who came with a undeniable run in the centre of the course to win by an emphatic three and a quarter lengths.
