Partnered by Glen Boss and prepared by Mark Kavanagh, Magicool raced handy and found plenty in the run to the line to win by a neck, his overall record now two wins and a second from just four starts with prizemoney nearing $90,000.
"He was bought for the Derby and is very stoutly bred on the dam's side. We targeted him very early as a Derby type and that's where we will head," Kavanagh said.

Racing, Magicool runs for a big syndicate of stable clients.Bred by Hutchins Thoroughbreds, Magicool is the first winner for stakes-winning Galileo mare Perfect Truth (IRE), who won the Listed Cheshire Oaks at 11 ½ furlongs, so Magicool should only get better over further.
"He (Glen Boss) rode him confidently and he stargazed a bit when he got to the front in the straight. This is his first race in town and there's a fair bit of upside," Kavanagh said.
"These Fastnet Rocks over the Galileo mares are very stout and can get a good turn of foot in a stayer."
Perfect Truth has a yearling colt by More Than Ready (USA) and has already foaled this spring producing a filly by Snitzel.
Magicool is the 69th stakes-winner for champion sire Fastnet Rock.
