Tara Dylan looks a filly on an upward curve after swooping to victory in the Guinnness Foals Handicap at Galway.
Gary Carroll came with a strong run on the outer to lead turning for home in the mile-and-a-half handicap and the 7/1 shot soon settled matters.
The Tom Mullins-trained filly stayed on well in the closing stages to post a length-and-a-half success as Ondamoura tried to peg her back in the closing stages.
The winner was following up her success at Leopardstown last week and was carrying a 5lb penalty in today's race.
“We took a bit of a chance coming here but she seemed to come out of her last race well,” said Mullins.
“She was 6lb well in today as she got 11lb for winning at Leopardstown so that swayed me to come here.
“She overcame a bad draw and Gary was brilliant on her. He's a jockey that has really come of age. He took his time and knew the filly he had underneath him.
“Hopefully she'll keep progressing. She might come back here in September but there are plenty of fillies race for her.”
