Sirici stepped forward nicely from her debut run at Dundalk last week to open her account in the opener on tonight's card.
Fozzy Stack's charge had just been denied in a tight three-way finish on her debut seven days ago and went one better in good style at odds of 13/2.
Killian Hennessy produced his mount to challenge two furlongs from home and sent her to the front inside the final furlong to record a length-and-a-quarter success over Spirit Power who shaped nicely in second on his debut. Royal Diplomat sent off the well backed 11/10 favourite, could only finish fourth.
“The owner had horses with David Wachman and thankfully David sent him our way when he retired,” said Stack.
“I'm delighted to be able to give Killian his first winner since coming back from England.
“We'll step her up to stakes level now.”
Hennessy said:- "She's a nice filly. We've always thought a lot of her and she's an early type.
"She's after improving a bit from last week and got the job done today.
"She quickened up quite well. To be fair it was a hot enough race and we didn't know what to expect. She dug deep and you'd have to be happy with her."
