Shane Crawley's Trishuli River followed-up on her course and distance win from earlier in the month, as she claimed the second divide of the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap.
Sent off the 3/1 favourite this evening, the Poet's Word four-year-old was settled in mid-division by Wayne Hassett, making progress on the approach to the straight.
Travelling best to challenge over a furlong from home, the bay victor was pushed along to lead inside the final 200 yards, keeping on strongly when ridden to score by two and a half lengths.
Well-supported from 14s early, Eighty Eight (5/1) finished second under Rory Mulligan for Johnny Feane, while Warazam (15/2) was another length and a quarter back in third.
"It's great for the lads, they are getting a great buzz out of it," Crawley reflected.
"Her confidence is sky-high at the moment and Wayne gave her a very cool ride. It's my first time using him, James (Ryan) was suspended.
"We'll get her home, we'll freshen her up and we'll see how she comes out of it.
"She's seeing that trip out well. I still maintain in that company we could drop back to a mile because she shows a bit of poke. In time, probably further going by the stallion.
"At the minute we will try and keep her right. When these fillies are in good form, you keep them going."
