Jessica Harrington's Fancy Feat made every yard to reward punters who sent her off 5/6 favourite for the fillies' maiden in Gowran Park.
Shane Foley was hard at work on her a furlong and a half out and she edged left when she came under the whip approaching the final furlong.
She stuck to her guns well, though, to hold on by a short head from stablemate, and fast finishing, Xcite (12/1). Memyselfandmoi came in third at 16/1, a further three parts of a length behind.
Shane Foley said: "She had a good run in Tipperary. It wasn't ideal making the running but I think she stays very well and with the ground drying out a bit I wanted it to be a test more than anything.
“She's toughed it out well and she wasn't doing a stroke in front to be honest. She was having a good look and I think in better company she'll run better.
“She likes that little bit of ease in the ground.
“She bumped into a nice filly of Halford's in Tipperary (Hamariyna), they think quite a bit of her.”
