I Key can defy top weight in nursery

I KEY can defy top weight in the Kilmallock Nursery at Tipperary this afternoon.

The selection, who ran well without winning in his first three starts, benefitted from a change of tactics when landing a similar contest over six furlongs at Fairyhouse last month.

Held up, the Fasliyev colt made smooth headway early in the straight and, having led a furlong out, ran on well to beat Certainlei a length with Seven Gold Rings a further length and a half back in fourth.
