Salah`s next performance in the Curragh finale

Salah Belle made it two wins from three starts in the Sky Bet Request A Bet 3yo Handicap, proving easy to back. 

Trained by Sheila Lavery and owned by Claire Noone, the bay filly won at 33/1 on debut at Dundalk in December. 

Despite finishing down the field on soft ground in her last race, she was able to secure victory as a 16/1 chance in this race. 

Ridden by Robbie Colgan, she settled just behind the leaders and took the lead inside the final 150 yards to win by a length and a half. Fivecromwellplace finished second and Dark Viper came in third. The favourite, The Bear Trap, finished eighth. 

Lavery was pleased with the win and mentioned a potential race for Salah Belle at Fairyhouse. Lavery also expressed gratitude to Claire Noone for their support.
