Dylan Browne McMonagle doubled up on Karaoke in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Series Fillies Maiden over six furlongs at Dundalk.
This daughter of Acclamation was beaten half a length into second on debut at Gowran Park which saw her sent off 10/11 favourite to get off the mark for Joseph O'Brien.
She tracked the leader Jilted and picked the lead up a furlong and a half out. She was always holding challenger Alabama Pearl and passed the post half a length in front of the 9/4 runner-up. Tee Tree Bay was a further length and a half back in third at 28/1.
Browne McMonagle said: "We were eager to go forward on her today but we didn't have a great draw. We were out a little bit wide and the bend comes up quick, but she was good from the gates and very professional.
"We were building lovely from halfway and she stuck at it the whole way to the line. It was a good step forward today.
"It was seven (furlongs) the last day (in Gowran Park) and she hit the line well. Onwards and upwards for her now."
