The 4/7 favourite Mother Nature trained by Aidan O'Brien for the Coolmore partners, availed of what looked a good opportunity in the five-runner fillies' maiden.
Prominent throughout along with Sissi Declan McDonogh's mount went on early in the straight and was ridden out to beat that rival by two lengths.
Stable representative Chris Armstrong commented: "Obviously her form was in the book, it was good to get the winning bracket and Declan gave her a nice ride. Apart from( running wide off) the top bend, she is starting to put it all together and that ground is perfect for her, although will handle it a fraction easier.
"From here we'll look to the Give Thanks Stakes at Cork which should suit her perfectly and hope to get blacktype. She is a nice filly to have for the backend.
"Her pedigree is unbelievable, she is by Justify who is an unbelievably exciting stallion so has the sire and the dam (by Galileo). It is now a case of matter of making the pedigree even better with a blacktype win."
