Ship Of Dreams gained a deserved victory in Listed company with a fine front-running performance, under Wayne Lordan, in the Navigation Stakes at Cork this afternoon.
The Joseph O'Brien-trained, Qatar Racing-owned, filly was sent straight into the lead in the mile contest and was asked to stretch her field passing the two pole.
The 15/8 favourite kept on strongly inside the final furlong, as North Face gave chase, to record a two-and-a-quarter length success.
Ship Of Dreams, a daughter of Lope De Vega, had previously been placed in two Listed contests and two Group 3 events.
"It is nice to get her head in front. She stays well and the plan was to make the running and it's a nice track to do that on,” said Lordan.
"She is very game and has been unlucky and been on the wrong side of a few photo finishes but today worked out nicely."
