Uleavemebreathless too strong for Cocktail Hour © Photo Healy Racing
Uleavemebreathless confirmed the promise of her Curragh debut run when running out a convincing winner of the opening auction maiden at Roscommon.
Shane Foley drove his mount into the lead a furlong-and-a-half from home and the 7/4 second favourite soon found top gear.
She was followed through by 6/4 market leader Cocktail Hour but that rival couldn't live with Andy Oliver's charge inside the final furlong.
The daughter of Tiger Hill asserted in the closing stages and Foley could afford to ease down close home for a two-length success.
The winner had just failed to make a successful bow at the Curragh ten days ago.
"I think she's a good filly and she's always shown plenty at home," said Oliver.
"She had a lovely first run at the Curragh and really greeness beat her then. She was green again today and was slowly away.
"Shane bided his time and she seemed to do it quite snuggly.
"I toyed with the idea of the Moyglare but I've already supplemented one filly and as she wasn't in it I decided against it.
"She'll go now for a mile fillies listed race at the Curragh in two weeks time and we'll take it from there."
The ground was changed to soft on the Flat course after the first race and good to yielding on the national hunt track.
