Jackie Oh stayed on strongly up the stiff finish to Gowran Park's Group 3 Darley Rathbride Stakes to win by three lengths in the hands of Colin Keane.
This brought up a double for the jockey who also took the opening juvenile race on Uluru for Kevin Coleman.
Aidan O'Brien 's Jackie Oh raced in third behind a tussling Goldana and Village Voice a furlong and a-half out in this 1m1f contest and really found her stride in the final furlong.
She came though on the inner of the aforementioned pair to grab them with 150 yards to travel and powered away at 3/1.
Village Voice (5/1) got the better of Goldana (16/5) by a neck for second.
This was revenge for Jackie Oh over Village Voice after she was beaten three-parts of a length by her in a Listed race over 1m2f at Navan in May.
Stable representative Chris Armstrong said: “She's a filly that has had a few good runs already. Colin gave her a lovely ride.
“The ground, at this stage, is probably important to her. That's a very important bracket to get with her pedigree.
“A mile-and-one or a mile-and-two is probably her trip. Aidan left her in the Nassau at the confirmation stage the other day just as a back-up and it will probably come too soon.
“We'll probably give her a bit of time and maybe bring her back on Irish Champions Weekend for something like the Blandford Stakes.
“She could go to France as well, she has plenty of options. She's a lovely filly and it's nice to get the win for Triermore Stud as well.”
Paddy Power made Jackie Oh 14/1 from 20s for the Yorkshire Oaks.
