Robson De Aguiar dominated the Coolmore Stud Blackbeard Race at Naas with Hollie Doyle causing a big surprise on outsider Your Song, leading home a one-two for the trainer.
Doyle was happy to send Your Song forward in a slowly-run race with 4-6 favourite Star Prospect bringing up the rear.
The 25-1 shot ran on gamely with the only real challenge coming from stablemate What A Girl Wants but Doyle held off her rival to win by a neck.
De Aguiar said: “She’s a nice filly. Last time, the ground in Cork was too soft for her and she didn’t like it.
“She has a good turn of foot and plenty speed and she confirmed the work she had been doing at home. We’ll try and go for the Queen Mary with her.
“The second horse is also a good filly. I don’t see much between the two. At home, they work well together.
“The race was competitive between the two of them. I think that she can go for the Albany and the winner for the Queen Mary.”
Bobby McGee completed a hat-trick in the Royal Ascot Trials At Naas Rated Race.
The Noel Meade-trained Bobby McGee (4-1) took it up in the hands of Colin Keane half a furlong from home to put the race to bed, coming home one and a quarter lengths clear.
Meade said: “He was good today, he was very good. And what can you say about the fella that was riding him? He was good too. I was impressed with him myself today the way that he did that. He won snug enough.
“I suppose we might enter him in the Britannia at Ascot. We’ll see. He might go there. He probably might not want rock hard ground I’d say. A little ease might suit him better. The shower earlier didn’t do him any harm. I couldn’t be more pleased.”
Stephen Thorne’s Jagged Edge (10-1) came with a late charge to head stablemate Far From Dandy in the ALTO Equine Building Solutions Handicap while the Twydil/Clovelly Irish EBF Fillies Maiden went the way of Henry de Bromhead’s Totally Puzzled at 50-1.
