The consistent Bellakris (6/4 fav) got her turn on career outing number nine to land the concluding Naas Racecourse Fillies’ Maiden under Shane Foley.
Runner-up in four of those previous eight starts, Jessica Harrington’s Scat Daddy filly confirmed Curragh form with Silk Air (6/1) and defeated that one by a length and-a-half.
X’Girl (33/1) filled the third spot another length and three-quarters further back.
The winner carries the Special Tiara silks of owner Sally Rowley-Williams.
The winning rider Shane Foley said: “She’s been kocking on the door and deserved that. She came off the bridle earlier than ideal, but she’s hard-fit and in good form, so I knew she’d stay going for me.”
