Rominintheglomin held the late charge of Unaminous to claim the opening Bennettsbridge Maiden at Gowran Park.
Colm O'Donoghue produced his mount to challenge wide in the straight and she got to the front at the furlong pole.
7/4 favourite Flying Doha who had been prominent throughout, gave way at that stage.
The Pat Shanaham-trained winner stuck on well in the closing stages as Unanimous found her stride late on.
The Whipper filly had half a length to spare at the line in the seven-furlong contest.
The 6/1 winner has shaped with promise on her debut at Naas, just six days ago, when fourth behind a decent sort in Alkazim.
"She's come on a good bit for the run at Naas. The first run helped sharpen her up and she loves that soft ground," said Shanahan.
"She's a big tall filly who should improve a bit with hime."
O'Donoghue commmented on the ground:- "It's raceable but it is heavy. We got the best of it there in the first."
