Third behind the exciting Frankel filly Argentia at her career debut at Flemington in June, Black Caviar's daughter Invincible Caviar kick-started her three-year-old campaign on a winning note over 1130m at Sale on Sunday.
Controlling the race from the front under Jamie Kah, the daughter of I Am Invincible needed little more than a flick of the reins to defeat the Xtravagant debutant Xtra Gear by a long-neck with a further length back to the $600,000 I Am Invincible colt Treporti in third.
"She (Kah) was pretty soft on her," winning trainer Peter Moody told Racing.com.
"She just did what she had to, and I asked her to do that knowing there was good improvement in her.
"It's always nice to win, and with a filly like her, it's important to get a win on the pedigree. It was just pleasing to see her get the job done softly like that.
"I've got a group of fillies like her and Gimmie Par and a few others at home that have been working nicely together, so that gives you a nice feel that when you come to a maiden, you should be running well."
Kah said she always felt she had the race under control.
"She was too strong. She didn't have an economical run just with a few other horses pestering her early," Kah said.
"I could feel them coming, but she was never in doubt in my mind, she was always going to win, and I didn't want to knock her around.
"She's going to win some better races off that. I think she will get better when she has one or two horses in front of her to follow, but she's got a lot of improvement there," Kah added.
Moody nominated the indicated $160,000 Listed Cap d'Antibes (1100m) at Flemington on September 11 as the immediate target.
