Improving filly Beach Bunny showed battling qualities to take the Gowran Park Rooftop Restaurant Race and she will now have a crack at Group Three company.
The Kevin Prendergast-trained three-year-old, who was fourth to the smart Chinese White in a Listed race at the track last time, was never far away in the one-mile contest as Glowing and Charlotte Bronte led.
The latter went on in the straight, but Beach Bunny (3-1) was soon snapping at her heels and showed great determination to squeeze past and win by one and a half lengths under Chris Hayes.
Her next target will be the mile-and-a-half Noblesse Stakes at Cork on June 16 and she is expected to improve for the step up in trip.
Set Sail justified strong support when running out a comfortable winner of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden for juveniles.
The Danehill Dancer colt was well held on his debut over this course and distance but was backed into 2-1 favouritism before the off.
Always close to the pace in the hands of Seamus Heffernan, Aidan O'Brien's charge hit the front early in the straight and soon put the race to bed, staying on strongly to score by two and a half lengths from the frustrating Comadoir.
Amaranda was made to work hard to land the seven-furlong Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden for three-year-olds.
Last of nine in a Group Three event won by Carribean Sunset at Leopardstown last week, the David Wachman-trained filly was sent off a 7-2 chance and was always handily placed under Wayne Lordan.
Lovely Dream, who took them along, showed no signs of stopping in the final stages and Amaranda had to be stoked up to grab the prize close home, winning by a neck.
Lordan notched another victory when Noel Meade's Dollar Chick (7-1) led all the way in the Golf Family Membership At Gowran Handicap and ran on strongly to beat Belle Noverre by three and a half lengths.
