Rickrack opened her account in good style when powering clear in the closing stages of the fillies handicap at Cork.
Jessica Harrington 's charge had been placed in three of her four previous starts since joining the yard and went to post the 3/1 favourite today.
Colm O'Donoghue tracked the leader Upgrade before sending his mount to the front over two furlongs from home.
The daughter of Teofilo ran on strongly inside the final furlong to post a four-and-three-quarter length winning margin over Gentil J
O'Donoghue said afterwards:- "She is very consistent and only really started off in Galway (festival) but Mrs Harrington has always liked her and said to keep her in training next year.
"She has a lot of pace and was a bit gassy running over 1m2f but she relaxed very well today and we went a nice even pace. She quickened up well and it was a good pot too."
