Finsceal Annie (6/1, from 9s before the off) came from off the pace to land the three-year-old handicap in the hands of Jamie Powell.
Trained by Ciaran Murphy for the Legends Galore Syndicate, the chesnut had finished second on her previous start at Killarney and was produced inside the final furlong to beat Bucaneer's Spirit by a length and a quarter.
Murphy explained: "We bought her out-of-training at Goffs and there were a few issues afterwards but the owners were patient and she had a lovely run at Killarney the last day. To build on that today was great and she dropped in trip. My horses seem to be coming good now.
"The syndicate are from everywhere; there are 10 or 12 and Jack Moran, who runs some of my syndicates, put them together. There are a few local people, some from Cork and for some it is their first winner and they are having a great evening."
