After winning the opener with Sebastiano Ricci Joseph and Donnacha O'Brien doubled-up with Detailed in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.
Having got off the mark at Ballinrobe in July, the daughter of Motivator then went down by half a length to Athenry Boy at the Galway Festival.
She came home an easy six and a half length victor on her most recent effort at the Curragh, and was expected to follow-up this evening, as she went off the 7/4 favourite.
Settled in mid-division, she was sixth before the entrance to the straight. She was soon pushed along and made good headway into third.
She came with her challenge on the outer over a furlong from home and soon edged to the front, keeping on well to score by a length and three parts. Secret Existence ran a fine race to finish second on her first start since December. She was returned at 14/1 under Gary Halpin for Johnny Feane.
Donnacha O'Brien said afterwards: "She's a tough little filly and has won carrying a big weight on soft ground. For a little filly she tries hard, and it's nice to get another win for her."
