On start number seven Shanghai Beauty shed her maiden tag in first-time cheek-pieces, when landing the At The Races On iPhone And Android Maiden at Bellewstown under Billy Lee.
As a daughter of Jeremy it wasn't surprising that the 76-rated three-year-old would come home best in the testing conditions, to get the better of Well Done Me and Future Icon by a length and a quarter and a head. They left Chestnut Fire six lengths back in fourth.
Winning trainer Ken Condon said: "Her dam is a half-sister to Bahamian Bounty so it was important to get a winning bracket.
"We put her into a Listed race on just her second start last year and she finished fourth, and has really never run poorly. She handles the ground, and we'll probably find a little handicap for her now."
