SWAN Lakes secured a deserved first career success with a battling performance at Chepstow last night.
After two second-place efforts, she made it third time lucky with victory in a mile and a half fillies' maiden in the hands of jockey Fergus Sweeney.
The daughter of Dalakhani got the better of the favourite Sea The Bloom after a protracted battle down the home straight.
With that rival seen off, trainer David Simcock's charge had to repel a late burst from Fiery Sunset.
But in the end, Swan Lakes - a 2/1 shot - had plenty in the tank to land the win by a length and a quarter.
