Curly Girl signed off for the year when springing a 33/1 shock in the seven-furlong handicap at Leopardstown.
The John Feane-trained filly had disappointed when tried on the all-weather over in Newcastle earlier in the month but bounced back to form today.
Mark Gallagher got a split inside the final furlong and got his mount's head in front close home for a length victory over Krispen
“She won that well and I'm delighted with her,” said Feane.
“She had a light weight, they went quick and we said we'd try and ride her different.
“She doesn't like the all-weather. She ran twice on it, she ran over in Newcastle and was third in Dundalk. She ran okay at Dundalk under a penalty, I ran her back too quick, so we freshened her up.
“This was the last race for her this year so I was delighted she won and it's a good pot to win.
“Mark gave her a good ride as well, down the inside.”
