Ferrari Desert confirmed the promise of her placed effort last time out when claiming the 47-65 handicap over seven furlongs at Dundalk.
The Mark Fahey-trained filly had been third at the Curragh 13 days ago but went to post an easy-to-back 15/2 shot this afternoon.
Keithen Kennedy produced the Acclamation filly to lead on the far side, passing the furlong marker, and she stuck on well in the closing stages to post a half-length win over Moyassr
Fahey said: "It was very good.
"She had a good run in the Curragh the last day and she backed that up today.
"Keithen gave her a great ride again, he got her to switch off. She can be a little bit temperamental.
"Our plan was to come down the middle and everything worked out down the inside!
"To be fair to the lads (stalls handlers), the lads know her and she has to go in last.
"Keithen rides a bit of work for me and he knocked a tune out of her.
"My brother saw her in the sales, she was cheap enough."
