< Rivers Of Babylon led her two rivals a merry dance in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race at Navan.
Although Cradle Mountain was in close attendance, the 7-4 shot was still allowed to go her own pace in front and already had them on the stretch when quickening two furlongs out.
She never looked like being caught and accounted for Cradle Mountain by two and a half lengths, with Sight Hound last of the trio.< Miss Elizabeth (15-8) maintained her unbeaten record in the Lynn Lodge Stud EBF Median Auction Race.
Wayne Lordan settled the Fairyhouse winner at the rear of the three-runner field, but she moved up stylishly to challenge odds-on favourite Blood Moon approaching the furlong pole and pulled away takingly to score by three lengths.
Her trainer Edward Lynam followed up when Balmont Mast (4-1) defied top weight in the Country And Western Evening Friday 10th July Handicap.

The application of cheekpieces did the trick for Vilman in the Summer Ladies Day Handicap.
The 13-8 chance looked a sitting duck in front when Jack Blue and Masterchippy pressed him, but Michael Halford's colt responded to Shane Foley's urgings to beat Jack Blue by three-quarters of a length.
Halford and Foley were at it again 35 minutes later when Caution (8-1) came with a wet sail in the Navan Members Handicap.< Zhukova caught the eye when fourth on her Fairyhouse debut and comfortably reversed that form with the runner-up Duchessofflorence beating her by three and a quarter lengths in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden as the 8-15 market leader.< Calm Bay made a bold bid to repeat last year's win in the Follow Navan Racecourse On Twitter Apprentice Handicap but had to settle for the runner-up spot behind Blueberry Gal (16-1).
