The Fozzy Stack trained colt had won his only two previous starts on the all weather track at Dundalk in December and March and was having his first start on turf and taking on older rivals in the one mile contest.
He tracked the leaders and forged clear to win by a length and a half in a
dominant display."He's done that well and we will line him up in the Irish 2000 Guineas next. Whether he's good enough there we'll see," said Fozzy Stack.
"He wants fast ground which is why he ended up here rather than the Tetrarch last Monday. He's always worked like a very nice horse at home."
Zihba was a 62,000 euro purchase for De Burgh Equine from the Tattersalls Ireland Yearling Sale and is the second winner from Galileo mare Fancy Vid, who comes from the family of Champion Sprinter and 3YO Miler Dream Ahead.
He is the 89th stakes-winner for Coolmore's ever popular Choisir, who stands at a fee of $29,700 in 2018.
