The Blue Brilliant gave Jessica Harrington and Shane Foley their second success of the Killarney July festival when capturing the featured Irish Stallion Farms Fillies Handicap yesterday.

The three-year-old, making her handicap debut, dug deep in the closing stages to see of Magic Chegaga by three-quarters of a length.
