Fozzy Stack's Focaccia got her turn in the Landy, Muldoon & Co Maiden in Bellewstown.

The 7/1 shot, who had five races under her belt including two placed efforts at the Curragh and Dundalk, made all and increased her advantage inside the final furlong.

She hit the line with two and three quarter lengths in hand of 15/8 favourite Sparky Sparky Profit Surge rounded out the placings in third at 9/4.

Jockey Gavin Ryan said: "She's a fast filly and when she gets on the front end, she probably enjoys it most.

"The fact she never got headed too probably suited her down to the ground.

"She's a very quick filly and plenty of gears, so very happy with that.

"She's had plenty of quick runs and this race came right for her."
