Mars' sister, Wonderfully (6/4 this morning out to 7/2) shorted-headed Queen Of Power (25s first thing into 14s) in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden at Fairyhouse.
Clear pace-setter, Miss Mousey (first-time blinkers) made things interesting from the front here but she was caught a furlong out by Colour Blue That one then looked likely to score.
However she was 'done' in the final strides and ended up a short head off Ballydoyle's Wonderfully, and Queen Of Power, in third place.
Moyglare Stud Farm and Dermot Weld's newcomer, Pirita (7/2 this morning into 11/8) dwelt at the stalls and she came home in fourth place, a further two lengths off the principals.
Joseph O'Brien explained: "They went very quick but she has plenty of speed and travelled real well.
"She was a bit green early on and I just had to get after her a little bit. She was getting a bit tired near the finish but she's a nice filly and will hopefully come along with racing." (AM & EM)
