Dream Scape trumped the first two in the market to open her account in the concluding fillies maiden at Gowran Park.

Caliente pressed hard but couldn't find a way past Dream Scape, who stuck her head out gamely for Gary Carroll to record a neck success.

The easy-to-back 12/1 winner had shown ability in two efforts but was stepping up today.

"She's a nice filly and I think she'll be an improving sort," said Murphy.

"The owners (Newtown Anner Stud Farm) are near to me and have a number of nice fillies coming along - hopefully she'll be one of those.

"She's a very genuine filly. We'll see what mark the handicapper gives her."

Joseph O'Brien put 3lb overweight up on eventual third Circle.
