Cayenne Pepper (6/4 fav) maintained her unbeaten run by making all to win the Group 3 Flame Of Tara Stakes in the hands of Shane Foley.
Previously successful at Leopardstown and Tipperary, the daughter of Australia never really looked in danger as So Wonderful (7/2) was two and a half lengths adrift at the line.
“It's always a bit frightening because she hadn't run since July,” said winning trainer Jessica Harrington.
“We've been waiting for this and it's great that Jon and Sarah (Kelly) are over here as well.
“She did it the hard way. She stays great and she is so easy and straight-forward.
“She quickened twice, into the wind and everything, she was great. I was very nervous beforehand.
“I'll have to talk to Jon and Sarah now. She's in the Fillies Mile which is a possibility.
“They are all in everywhere because you never know when one could get sick or lame.
“You have to keep all the options open but she seems to go on any ground and she's very very straight-forward.”
