Promising Punakha should pay her way for in-form McCreery

Trainer: Pat Foley
7^th, 7f median auction maiden, Gowran Park, May 4

Pat Foley is awaiting his first winner since taking over the licence from his late father Tom and this gelded son of Fast Company showed enough promise to suggest he could well be one of the first to score.

Held up off the pace, he ran out of racing room more than once, most significantly when still having half a chance over a furlong out when he was squeezed up on the inner. He didn't have much room after that until about 50 yards out, but even then he picked up and was gaining on those just in front of him.
