Reserve Bambootcha made the most of getting a run, storming home on the run-in to get up in the dying strides.
She looked held when ridden in sixth turning in and was still only a moderate fifth over the last but found another gear under a strong ride from Sean Flanagan.
The mare had looked a progressive type when scoring twice last summer and defied a 10-month absence to pick up the winning thread.
Trainer Colm Murphy was expecting improvement from today's run and Galway is a long-term target.
Clear Riposte had been to the fore throughout and looked set to see off all comers until the eventual winner got motoring close home.
He had won the battle with Dreamy Gent on the run-in but could do nothing about the late surge of the mare.
Willie Mullins' charge hasn't scored since his juvenile days but should surely pick up a prize during the summer if reproducing this effort.
It was another good effort from Dreamy Gent, who had run well on the Flat at the Curragh last time.
He looked set for victory when coming to lead at the last but was soon headed again. He should also be winning during the summer.
Norther Bay had also been front-rank. He had no more to offer from the last but stuck to his guns well.
Mister Hight had crept into contention two from home but couldn't quicken before the last while Bahrain Storm, who had attracted some support (9/1 to 7/1), couldn't go with them before the straight and kept on one paced.
