SUCCESSFUL with the highly-regarded Sea The Stars at the Curragh last Sunday, John Oxx struck with another promising two-year-old at headquarters yesterday.

Favourite Vitruvian Man was supported into 8/11 ahead of the Keatley Curragh Equine Groundcare Maiden and this imposing colt cruised home for Mick Kinane by four and a half-lengths.

Almass (5/1) showed her appreciation for having her sights lowered by landing first prize in the seven-furlong conditions race.

Flame Of Ireland put two disappointing runs firmly behind her by landing the opening two-year-old maiden.

Toasted Special (25/1) was another to make recent disappointments seem a distant memory when outbattling Willoughby Bay in the six-furlong handicap.

Dermot Weld’s Grace O’Malley (12/1) made it a successful debut when finishing best of all under Pat Smullen to land the fillies maiden by a head from Kiyra Wells.
