The Joseph O'Brien-trained Seize Your Star lunged late to grab the spoils in the concluding mile-and-a-half maiden at Bellewstown tonight.
Long-time leader Erin looked to have done enough in the finale as she stretched the field passing the two pole.
Wayne Lordan got a good tune from Seize Your Star inside the final furlong and got her head in front close home to secure a neck victory.
The 5/1 winner was making her third start and had finished fifth behind Imrana at Limerick 12 days ago.
Lordan said:- "She's a grand filly and has stepped forward from each run. She's only having her third start, it's an undulating track and she got unbalanced in places but she got it together at the right time.
"She's a grand filly and she'll improve again."
