Copper Nation put in a strong front-running performance to land the fillies' bumper in Tipperary.
Donal Coffey 's Westerner filly went off 5/2 favourite to account for her 10 rivals.
As a former Dromahane point-to-point winner, Darragh Allen made good use of stamina n this contest.
In the final furlong, she drew three and three quarter lengths clear of newcomer Saylavee (3/1 from double that price in the morning). Park Hind was beaten another half length into third at 8/1.
Jockey Allen said: “What you see is what you get. She’s tough, she goes a gallop and I’d say she’ll stay three miles in time.
“The day she won her point-to-point she jumped electric. She wants soft ground.”
