Its All Peachy put her experience to good use in getting off the mark in the opening fillies' maiden at Clonmel for Michael O'Callaghan.

She tracked the favourite Tswalu over this extended nine-furlong trip and travelled the better to take over outside the two pole.

Tswalu came under a drive from Dylan Browne McMonagle a furlong and a-half down as Jamie Powell set about going for home on the new leader.

She asserted inside the final furlong and strode in under hands and heels by two and a-quarter lengths at 9/2 from the 13/8 runner-up, with the first two well clear of Walk The Highline (3/1).

This was Its All Peachy's 10th career outing with three placed efforts posted previously.

Powell, on his birthday, said: "She had form last year, but is only coming to herself now. Michael freshened her up since she last ran and it seems to have done her the world of good.

"She jumped and travelled very well, loved the track and ground. She enjoys that ground and it seems to help her, as it slows everything else down. I was delighted with her and the plan is hopefully to win again this year."
