Colin Keane completed a 110/1 treble as Apercu confirmed the promise of two previous outings here to take the Dundalk Stadium Gift Vouchers Available Online Maiden.
The Andy Oliver-trained filly was sent off the 7/4 favourite after going close last month and led early in the straight of this extended ten-furlong event.
Keane had to keep the daughter of Elzaam right up to her work to beat Dawn Rider by a length and a quarter with New Phenomenon a further length and a half away in third.
The champion jockey was also on the mark earlier aboard I Am Superman and Hurricane Helen
Keane said, "She has progressed from run to run, and I'd say she is a filly that would appreciate going a bit further. I'd say that is when you will see the best of her.
"She's a big, scopey mare and you'd imagine she would be a nice filly for during the summer.
"I thought we were after going steady enough and, for a filly that wants to go further, I was eager enough to get them rolling to make it a bit of a test. I think she was comfortable at the line."
