Erysimum made all under Billy Lee at Killarney to continue Willie McCreery's good run.
McCreery's charge was competing in the median auction fillies race for three-year-olds over a mile and broke smartly to take the field along.
She travelled best two and a half furlongs from home as her rivals all came off the bridle.
She was ridden was a furlong to go and closed out the race by a length and three quarter at odds of 9/4. Gilded Reflection the 11/10 favourite, couldn't get on terms and had to settle for second place in this seven-runner race.
Willie McCreery said: "She did it well and Billy gave her a good enterprising ride and used her experience. He slowed it up and then kicked off the turn.
"She's a big, improving filly and by the end of the year I hope to step her into Listed company.
"I still think she was harshly treated for her Sligo win and I was hoping that there was a handicap for her but conditions suited her today.
"Billy said a mile is far enough for her."
