San Martino easily won a Killarney maiden before just failing to make most at Listowel when headed close home by Magnanimous with Snowy Owl around two lengths back in fourth. The winner is trained by Joseph O'Brien, who has Omakase engaged here though she's had enough chances and was a long way behind VERBAL FENCING at Down Royal earlier. The latter followed up in convincing fashion at Naas and Luke McAteer keeps the ride with stable jockey Kevin Manning on board easy Listowel winner Flying Visit. Jessica Harrington's horses have been quiet lately but Fly Girl looked a nice prospect at Leopardstown before finishing mid-division in the lucrative sales race at Naas.
