All Things Nice gave weight and a beating to her rivals in the DMG Media Nursery Handicap at the Curragh.
Dropping back to sprinting, having won her maiden over a mile at Bellewstown last time, the daughter of Sioux Nation had no difficulties on her first try at the trip.
Always to the fore under Mikey Sheehy, the Joseph O'Brien trained filly kept finding more to repel the late lunge of Lasmuigh Woodcock Flight stayed on best of the rest to take the third spot.
Well backed Holdonfordearlife looked a serious threat at the furlong pole but ran very green once asked for his effort by jockey Billy Lee.
“She was tough. We dropped her in trip and took a chance,” said O'Brien.
“She's a nice filly, she's hopefully progressive and will probably go into stakes company now. She's in the Goffs race so she'll probably end up there as well.
“She could probably go back to seven the next day. We had to be positive today after winning at a mile last time and I thought Mikey gave her a very good ride. He went along and saved a little bit.
“I'm delighted to win another race with her and hopefully she's a filly going the right way.”
