Silver Service powered through the attritional ground in Leopardstown to post a success in the seven-furlong handicap.
Dylan Browne McMonagle was booked for the first time and the pair travelled well into contention on the outer as the field straightened for home.
He pushed her along to lead coming to the final furlong and the four-year-old Tough As Nails filly had the pursuers in trouble with half a furlong to travel.
She finished the race off well to come in by two and a half lengths at 15/2. Kodiac Prince the 7/2 favourite, could do no better than second, half a length up on Mogwli (28/1).
This was a quick turnaround from Thursday for Silver Service who had finished fourth over an extended five furlongs at Navan.
Trainer Michael Mulvany said: "I was a bit disappointed with her Thursday as I thought that race was there to be won.
“The went a bit hard early on then. She was entered up here and I decided we let her take her chance.
“We had a little doubt whether she'd stay seven because early on in the year we thought she didn't.
“That's why we were taking her back in trip but maybe we were making a mistake and should just have been riding her differently.
“She had a problem with a trapped epiglottis and that held us up for a couple of months. She's probably only getting to full fitness now.”
