Jealika swooped on the outer under Conor Hoban to land the six-furlong handicap in good style at Listowel.
The Mark Fahey-trained filly settled mid-division in the early stages before launching her challenge going to the furlong pole.
She hit the front inside the final furlong and asserted in the closing stages for a two-length success. Dragon Khan prevailed in a three-way go for the runner-up spot.
The 8/1 winner was recording her second success of the year and had been third on her last outing at Gowran earlier in the month.
Tom Fahey, the trainer's father, said afterwards:- "She's bred and owned by a friend of ours Jean Bird. She's won twice now when she hasn't been there so we're going to have to ban her from coming racing!
"The ground is sticky and slow but that's what she wants. She's a horse that lacks pace but stays all day."
