The Joseph O'Brien-trained Arya Tara completed a hat-trick as the O'Brien family dominated proceedings in the Roscommon Herald Handicap.
15/8 favourite Radar O'Reilly cut out the running in the race, which was over just under a mile-and-a-half, but was tackled two furlongs from home by Arya Tara.
The 9/4 shot soon hit the front, under Ana O'Brien, and went on to score by two-lengths in the colours of her mother Anne-Marie.
She was chased home by the Aidan O'Brien-trained Immortal Bridge which was ridden by Donnacha.
The winner, a daughter of Dylan Thomas, was following up on victories at Tipperary in May and at the Curragh last month.
Ana O'Brien said afterwards:- "She's very straight forward, and seems to handle any ground. She's done that well, and hopefully can win another one or two."
