opening corner,

lengths in a stunning 17.42. The winning time
was eight spots off the track record set by Lemon Clover back in 1996, and the fastest time posted this year. Ardera Captain (Archa- ton Pine-Ardera Moments) made a very impressive win- ning debut in race two for local owner Michael O’Sul- livan.

The May puppy took up the running at halfway and held the running on Butter Bau, by a length and a half, in 29.60, making it back to back wins for the youngster. The winner was sent off at 2-1, as Geelo Blackjack was sent off the well-backed 6-4 jolly but could manage fifth. Donal Dot Magic (Bal- lymac Vic-Goulane Bailey) took the opener for Donal O’Shea and trainer Colin Townend. A 5-2 chance in the ring, she was winning for the first time on her eight career outing, she led early and was five lengths too good for Ardera Heidi, in 30.08.
