Va Pensiero won her third race in four outings when taking the Fundraising Made Easy At Dundalk Stadium Rated Race in the hands of Pat Smullen.

Moyglare Stud Farm's High Chaparral filly came from last to first to lead a furlong out, overcoming being struck by a rival rider's whip when coming with her run.

Dermot Weld 's charge went on to defeat Power Struggle by two lengths.

Smullen commented: "She's a very tough and genuine filly. The only unknown was the step up in trip but she did it well. She travelled well and saw it out."
