Servalan led home a one-two for Jessica Harrington in the Listed race for juvenile fillies over six furlongs in Naas.
She missed the kick and was settled in rear of the seven runners by Seamie Heffernan.
The 10/1 shot was switched to the outer and began to wind up her challenge passing the two pole.
Heffernan sent on her approaching the final furlong and she saw it out best from stablemate Chicas Amigas (9/1) by a length and a quarter.
Jessica Harrington said: “They are both very good and will go to Ascot although I’m not sure in what races they will run. We will see nearer the time.
“Servalan luckily missed the break a bit and Seamie dropped her in. When he pulled her out she was very easy and quickened up great.
“It’s nice to have two good fillies. They both came on well from their first run and will come on again.”
Seamie Heffernan said: "She liked the two-year-old, she said she was very quick and make sure she settles and she said that she wouldn't disappoint if she turned it on. She has an engine.
"I'd say she could be (Royal) Ascot-bound."
Paddy Power gave Servalan a first show of 16/1 for the Albany Stakes.
