Right Key could be supplemented for the Darley Irish Oaks after landing the Group Three Kerry Group EBF Noblesse Stakes at Cork today.
The Kevin Prendergast-trained filly got up close home to deny long-time leader Unique Pose.
Pat Smullen set out to make the mile-and-a-half contest a true test on Unique Pose, but he could not quite shake off all his rivals in the straight.
Declan McDonogh brought Right Key (3-1) to challenge in the final furlong and Lady O'Reilly's filly led in the dying strides to win by half a length, with Saintly Rachel third.
Smullen and trainer Dermot Weld had earlier combined to score with Golden Arrow, who looked a smart prospect when making a winning debut in the Kerry Spring Water Rochestown Stakes.
The jockey allowed the son of Danehill to recover from a slow start before asking him for an effort on the outside a furlong out.
The 8-1 shot soon took command and galloped on well to take the Listed event in good style by three lengths from Duff. PA
