Two daughters of Jeremy finished first and second in the keadeenhotel.ie Handicap with Dragon Fei and Colin Keane coming out on top.
The Dermot McLoughlin trained five-year-old was making her seasonal debut here and she was sent off at 12/1.
Settled in second she came with her challenge over a furlong out and she soon led, going on from there to record her second course and distance success by two and a quarter lengths. Jeremy's Girl (20/1), who attempted to make all, finished second under Michael Hussey for Lester Winters while Tsundoku (10/1) was third a further length and three parts back under Leigh Roche for Eddie Lynam.
The 5/2 favourite Stronger Than Me (backed from 4/1 on-course) never looked like winning and he finished fifth under Shane Foley for Bill Farrell.
Dermot McLoughlin said afterwards: "She's tough out. The first two are both Jeremy's and they love that ground. She kept galloping."
Owner David Eiffe added: "It would be great to get a little bit of black type for her before the end of the year."
