Jockeys championship leader Colin Keane secured a double at Dundalk on Cache Queen in the concluding Servisource Occupational Healthcare Handicap.
The 12/1 chance was strongly pressed by Magi Gal (12/1), but found more to pull out the win by half a length.
The front two fought out the spoils as Ally Cay was three and three quarter lengths away in third at 8/1.
Trainer Ado McGuinness said: “It was great that we kept faith because she'd gone off the boil a little bit.
“I had her in at Hamilton twice this year and they were cancelled. We were going to go again with her last week but we said we'd wait for this.
“We worked her up here and she worked well. It's great for Conor and Josephine Hughes, who own the Mullingar Park Hotel. They've kept faith in her.
“She won a couple of times last year and was very consistent but she just struggled then with a high mark.
“She's back down and hopefully she'll win again for them. We'll keep her on the go here and see what happens.”
Keane now leads Donnacha O'Brien by three winners (87-84).
