Ken Condon has his string in tremendous shape at present and Perino supplied him with his third winner in four days when landing the Aviva Drogheda Maiden in good style under Declan McDonogh.
The 10/1 shot led a furlong out and she fairly flew home to beat the staying-on Ibelieveinmiracles by three and a half lengths. There was a steward's enquiry into the placings and Grand Caruso the favourite, who dead-heated for third with Schull Harbour was placed fourth.
Condon said of the winner: "She hasn't been easy to train. She has had soundness issues. We've lowered our sights though and they produced nice ground here this evening. It was important to get a winning bracket for her.
"The smaller field this evening and the fact that she was calmer before the race helped her here. She was also wearing blinkers for the first time."
