First-reserve Goa Gajah got a run in the median auction maiden at Down Royal and brought up a double for Mikey Sheehy.
Joseph O'Brien 's charge went off 85/40 favourite and made all over seven furlongs while racing wide.
He hit the line two and a half lengths clear of stablemate Lakota Seven (7/1) who was making his debut. Woodcock Flight (17/2) was half a length further back in third.
Sheehy said: "There was no pace on early so I had to make my own race. I was adamant to get him out middle to stands' side and he did it the hard way.
"He was green and raw but there was nothing around me to take me anywhere. It was a nice performance and he quickened up nicely.
"He has taken a massive step forward from his first run. Hopefully he keeps improving."
Sheehy was also successful on Eddie Lynam's Collective Power (3/1f)
