Pearls Galore (9/4f) 'came home' to Limerick, from France, to win a fillies'and mares' maiden on Irish debut.
She tracked Darkest and travelled well to head that rival passing the two pole.
The Invincible Spirit filly kicked on under Billy Lee approaching the final furlong and kept on well to score by three lengths. Sindhia was the horse to chase her home at 13/2. She was a neck in front of Abeona (11/2).
Trainer Paddy Twomey said: "She is a nice filly; we have had her since January and she came from France.
"There is an unusual story with her as her grandam (Group 1 Prix Vermeille Stakes winner Pearly Shells) was bred here at the track by Lord Harrington. She is Lord Harrington's back pedigree and is coming home to win her maiden.
"I'm very happy for her to win her maiden and we'll see how she comes out of this."
Pearls Galore was unplaced in two fillies' maidens in France.
