Bubbly Bellini made it quick back-to-back wins when claiming the six furlong handicap at Sligo.
Adrian McGuinness' charge had scored at Limerick just three days ago and showed no ill effects from that run.
Ian Brennan produced his mount with a well-timed challenge to lead inside the final furlong.
The well supported 11/4 favourite (from 4/1 in morning) stayed on strongly to record a two-and-a-quarter length success over Mountain Mama
"If the handicapper was right he should have won tonight as he was 6lb well in. Hopefully he won't be too hard on him," said McGuinness.
"He's just in great form and got a great ride from a terrible draw. He's in at Limerick again on the weekend but has to carry a 5lb penalty on top of his reassessed mark.
"Maybe he'll go for something at the Curragh on Derby weekend. He seems versatile enough trip wise."
