Under the guidance of Hugh Bowman, Prosir opened up proceedings with his first trial win this prep after running third behind stablemate More Joyous at Randwick on February 1.
The Choisir colt won his heat by two lengths ahead of Secret Admirer and Colorado Claire, running the 1000m in a time of 58.7secs on Slow going.
Expect the colt at this stage to resume in the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes (1400m) on March 2.

Another Waterhouse two-year-old in the form of newly acquired filly Greytfilly also won her heat over 740m beating fellow Waterhouse youngsters Paris Match and White Dove.
Exciting autumn prospects continued to emerge at the Randwick trial heats this morning with Hay List showing he is right on track for a first up run in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m) next month.
