With the form of her runner-up finish to Hand On heart boosted by the latter winning race six on this Curragh Card, Wisdom Mind was sent off favourite for the concluding fillies' maiden and duly obliged.
She was backed from 9/2 in the morning but drifted out from 9/4 to 3/1 at the track.
The Dark Angel filly saw out this mile well under Donnacha O'Brien to repel strong-finishing Athena (13/2 from 8/1) by half a length. Most Gifted well supported from 5/1 to 10/3, was a length and a half further back in third.
Trainer Joseph O’Brien said: “She’s a well-bred filly and ran well the last day. It’s nice to get her to win her maiden and it’s my first winner for Sun (Bloodstock). They have a few nice horses with us.
“We’ll try to get some black type for her now with her pedigree. She’s a low-moving filly so I’d be hoping she might be a bit better on nicer ground.”
