Wild Beauty, a Grade One winner in Canada during a productive two-year-old campaign, looked booked for minor honours here when pushed along towards the head of affairs two furlongs out.
At that stage Symphony Perfect and eventual runner-up Jumbly headed her but the 3/1 winner responded generously to William Buick's urgings.
Hitting top gear inside the final furlong she was strong at the finish and half-a-length clear of her rival at the line.
QuinnBet cut the winner to 12/1 from 20s for the QIPCO 1000 Guineas.
The winning jockey told Racing TV: "She won over a mile last year so we knew this would be the bare minimum in terms of trip for her. Charlie was adamant we be positive and go forward and we expected her to come under pressure early. She was headed and then showed her stamina and it's great to get her back to winning ways as a three-year-old."
