Bonus Time for Twomey at Naas
The 2-5 shot was sent straight to the head of the field by Colin Keane, with Zuheila racing keenly in behind.
Keane did not have to ask the daughter of Too Darn Hot too many questions, as the Paddy Twomey-trained filly ran out a half-length winner from Kodilicious, who kept on well for second, with the still green Zuheila in third.
Twomey said: 'Her last run was her first run for us and we tried seven in a handicap. She ran really well and Andy (Oliver)'s horse is a good horse that beat her just at the line.
'First time in a handicap carrying 10st and I just thought the last 50 yards looked a long way, so we said we'd come back to six today.
'It looked a nice spot for her and I'm very happy how she did it. Colin looked after her and gave her a nice ride.
'Colin said she could be dropped in and that she was waiting there in front.'
The three-year-old is owned by Yorkshire-based Bond Thoroughbred Limited, and Twomey added: 'We'll try to get some black type with her eventually and she might go to the Ebor meeting in York.'

Mint Man won on turf at the 11th time of asking in the Taste Of Kildare At Naas Racecourse 16th – 17th August Handicap. The Pat Murphy-trained four-year-old launched his challenge two furlongs out and hit the front heading into the final furlong, keeping on well to win by a length and a half. Murphy said of his 8-1 winner: 'He was in good form and is not a massive horse so carrying less weight today helped him. 'Leigh said he winged the gates and travelled away nicely for him. He hung a bit to the near side but has done it nicely. 'I thought he would have won more by now. 'We'll see what comes up for him and he could run in the Curragh on Saturday.' Keane completed a double on Noli Timere in the LubriSyn HA+ Premium Equine Joint Protection Fillies Maiden. Michael O'Callaghan's filly justified 11-4 favouritism and he said: 'She's a lovely filly and has taken a bit of time but is one we have always liked. 'We put cheekpieces on today, more to sharpen her up dropping back from a mile and one. 'Colin said a mile is her trip and she'll improve for slower ground. That is as quick as she wants it and we'll probably go hunting for a little bit of black type.'
