Music Box gave Aidan and Donnacha O'Brien a double at Naas when scooting home in the six furlong fillies' handicap.
She tracked Dandys Gold and Virtudes in third before being sent about her business in the final quarter of a mile.
The three-year-old changed gear and improved to lead a furlong and a half out and was ridden out in the final furlong to win by three parts of a length from a staying-on Miss Power
The first two home were both sent off 7/2 co favourite of three. Dandys Gold was a length away in third at 10/1. Little Clarinet the other co favourite, finished fourth.
Donnacha O'Brien said: "She takes her racing well. She was slowly away last time in a Group Three and was back in handicap company today.
"I'd imagine the plan will be to try and get her some black type somewhere."
Music Box was having her third run in a week having finished eighth in a valuable fillies' handicap at the Curragh last Saturday and sixth in the Group Three Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse on Wednesday evening (beaten just over three lengths).
