A return to seven furlongs worked the oracle for 10/3 favourite Talia in the handicap for three-year-olds and upwards rated 47-75.
A plethora of horses held chances racing to the final furlong, but it was Talia who found most at the business end for Billy Lee to fend off Red Heel (11/1) by a head. Hijo De La Luna was just a short head back in third at 14/1.
Natalia Lupini said: "She didn't quite get the mile at the Curragh - she wasn't beaten far, only three lengths.
"Seven furlongs is ideally her trip. She finds and she is honest and a genuine filly.
"We really fancied her today over this trip on that mark, so hopefully there is more improvement.
"We will maybe take a couple of weeks easy with her and go again."
Talia also won over seven furlongs at Cork last summer.
