Sam Curling's Ballinderry Moth put her rivals to the sword in some style in Killarney's bumper.
She raced in third and travelled strongly to lead over two furlongs out. The race was over when she was ridden clear. The 7/1 shot kept on well to score decisively by 10 lengths. Bon Genre at 11/1 took second while Madfuninthewest was two and a quarter lengths further away in third at 11/4. Dreambaby the 5/2 favourite, was never dangerous in 11th.
Sam Curling said: "That was very good and I think a lot of her. She hadn't done much before she went to Ffos Las and is only back in six weeks now.
"I think she's a right good mare and she'll either run in a winners' bumper or flat maiden next. She'll go hurdling down the road."
The winner was backed from 9/1 to 6/1 this morning. She finished second in a Ffos Las bumper last November.
