There was a seventh winning market-leader in succession at Wexford as 2/1 joint favourite Owenacurra Lass landed the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race for trainer and rider Declan Queally.
Second favourite Barwell took the opener, and a good session for many punters ensued with wins for Sapphire Lady (4/6), Sometime Soon (2/1), Eight And Bob (6/5), Silver Planeur (4/1), Peacocks Secret (9/4) and Neddyvaughan (2/1).
Owenacurra Lass was settled behind the leaders by Queally and she was fifth at the halfway stage.
Closer in third three furlongs out, the winner was ridden to challenge over a furlong and a half out.
She soon led and kept on well inside the final furlong to defeat Positive Outlook by two and three parts of a length.
Owenacurra Lass' fellow joint favourite, Miss Chevious Girl finished eight lengths back in third.
"She was a little bit unlucky at Tramore and she deserved that win to be fair," said Queally.
"Her bumper form tied in with Court Maid and Colreevy. She was wrong in Punchestown at the festival and it's nice to get a bumper with her today, especially with the bonuses and that.
"The soft ground here suited her as well being a Gold Well.
"She will probably go for a maiden hurdle somewhere now, maybe at one of the smaller tracks."
