JOSEPH O’Brien continued his fine recent record in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap, landing the €30,000 feature for the fourth time in five years as Mataariki scored in the hands of Dylan Browne McMonagle.

This meeting only went ahead after an early morning inspection, but the heavy ground conditions proved no problem to the daughter of Cracksman who made all and kept on well from over a furlong out to score by a length and a half. Marakesh took the runner-up spot with Bellaphina finishing just a shorthead back in third.
