After winning the second with Thomas O'Malley Joseph and Donnacha O'Brien, along with owners the Annus Mirabilis Syndicate, doubled-up with Detailed in the Tote Handicap.
Second at Hamilton on her last start, the daughter of Motivator was available at 8/1 last night, but opened on-course at 9/2, before going off a 7/2 chance.
Settled towards rear, she was in rear with three furlongs left to race. She was pushed along from the two furlong pole, and improved to challenge on the outer as they straightened up for home.
She got to the front inside the final 100 yards, and kept on well to score by half a length. Mr Adjudicator (12/1) finished second under Killian Leonard for Joe Murphy, while Empress Lyla (3/1jfav), Gary Carroll aboard for Sheila Lavery, was another half a length away in third.
The other joint-favourite was Level Of Intensity and he finished a disappointing eighth under Kevin Manning for Jim Bolger.
The winning rider said afterwards: "I told the lads before I went out that I was going to make the running on her. That obviously didn't go to plan.
"They were going so quick and got racing early as well so I was happy to sit as long as I could and when I whipped her out she sprinted.
"They went quick and I was surprised they started racing so early. I just tried to keep her in on the bends for as long as I could and I was happy that I'd pick up and go very close once I did pull her out."
STEWARDS REPORT
The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Level Of Intensity, trained by J. S. Bolger, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.
