The daughter of Monsun, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, quickened up well to give her owner her first winner at the meeting since Free Agent landed the Chesham in 2008.
Stoute was pleased to train a winner for the Queen in this landmark Jubilee year. He said: "I'm delighted for her. She contributes so much to racing.
"This filly is from an Aga Khan family with a Gold Cup winner in it, and I thought when she won at Salisbury that she could be a Vase filly."
