Miss Abby Jools made it six winning favourites from seven races in Limerick when annexing the concluding mile handicap.
She came home strongly down the outside and was in charge inside the final furlong. Adam Caffrey, who secured a double, drove her on by two and a-quarter lengths at 3/1. Breezy Zoff (18/5) chased her home and was a couple of lengths in front of third-placed Miss Cunning (7/1).
Trainer Charles Byrnes said: "He kept her out on the better ground and it made all the difference - her feet aren't even dirty.
"The race weakened a lot (with the withdrawals) but it is great to win."
This field was reduced to 10 runners from 15, primarily due to the change in going.
Caffrey bookended the card as he also took the opening claimer on Magnetic North for Ado McGuinness.
