Kazakdaria (9/2) took the Stillorgan Fillies Maiden to give Dermot Weld and Oisin Orr doubles on the Leopardstown card.

The pair had earlier combined to win with the identically-priced two-year-old debutante Suwayra and the double worked out at a little over 29/1.

The winner came through to tackle 2/1 favourite Cycladic over a furlong out and had to get the trip well to see off that one’s persistent challenge by a neck.

The daughter of Harzand was going one better having chased home promising colt Beamish over course and distance last month.

“She's a lovely filly and is very like her sire, she's very genuine and tough and battled her way to victory,” said Weld.

“She's genuine and that's what wins races, she puts her head down and she battles. She stays well but she's not slow.”
