The Dermot Weld-trained Sorelle Delle Rose was a warm order in the fillies handicap at Gowran and justified her short price with a convincing success in the seven-furlong contest.
The 5/4 shot was sent to the front two furlongs from home by Oisin Orr and was soon in control.
She galloped on strongly in the closing stages to post a three-length success over long-time leader Wild As The Wind
The winner was stepping back up in trip having been narrowly denied over an extended five at Navan last time.
“She did what we thought she'd do. We expected her to win and she did,” said Weld.
“We'll possibly look at the premier handicap on Derby day, the fillies handicap. That would be a logical place to go.”
