Blackmore & de Bromhead double-up with Popova


Popova completed a double for Rachael Blackmore and Henry de Bromhead, as she claimed an incident packed Walter Hennessy Auctioneer, Valuer And Estate Agent MIPAV TRV MCEI Mares Beginners Chase.

A dual winner over flights, the David Maughan-owned seven-year-old raced in mid-division before taking closer order on the approach to the straight.

In a share of the lead with Judicieuse Allen (2/1jf) from two out, she gained a narrow lead before the last and was soon left clear by the fall of her aforementioned rival, eventually coming home eight-lengths to the good.

A stable companion of the winner, Still Ciel (12/1) filled the runner-up spot under Darragh O'Keeffe, while Iris Emery (16/1) was another nine lengths away in third.

The winner came in for plenty of market support and was returned a 2/1 joint-favourite from early shows of 5/1.

After unseating at the second, Costanuci hampered a number of runners before fourth, with Idol unseating Phillip Enright as a result.
