The 7/4 favourite Supagirl bolted up by six and a half lengths in the Treo Eile Retraining Racehorses Apprentice Handicap.
Twice a winner already this year over this ten furlong trip, the Pride Of Dubai filly raced in second under Scott McCullagh before taking over in front entering the final quarter mile. She powered away from rivals on the uphill climb to the line with Prime Chief doing best of the rest.
In-form winning trainer Jessica Harrington said: "She was very good. Unfortunately, in Down Royal (finished seventh) the ground had gone on her.
"We might easily step her up to 1m4f or 1m3f anyway. We'll keep going and find another handicap for her.
"She's really very straightforward and, for a big mare, she loves that quick ground. She skipped on it."
