Flattering streaked clear in the closing stages to record an impressive success in the ten furlong fillies maiden at Cork.
The 14/1 shot had been well held on her sole start at the Curragh last season but left that form well behind on her reappearance.
Mick Hussey sent his mount to the front two furlongs from home and she sprinted clear going to the furlong marker.
The daughter of Galileo, who holds an Oaks entry, went on to record a ten length victory over Samasthiti
The winner, a half-sister to Group Two winner Lucky Kristale, was the outsider of the three Ballydoyle fillies in the race.
Hussey said afterwards:- "She was green early and got her action together and when I asked her to go she found plenty.
"She was very green early so was impressive in the end and once she kept going she kept plugging away. She'll step up into the next group now."
