Dermot Weld expects Kalisma to make her mark at a higher level following an impressive racecourse debut at Naas.
The daughter of Cape Cross was a 5-1 chance for the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden and was positioned close to the pace from the outset in the hands of Pat Smullen.
Once asked to go about her business, Kalisma professionally put the race to bed and passed the post a length and three-quarters to the good.
Weld said: "I'm very pleased with our two-year-olds in general and she's s a lovely filly.
"She'll progress and we may run her run her once again in the Staffordstown Stud Stakes (October 11) over a mile at the Curragh. Either she will run there or Zalfana, who won at the Curragh last month.
"She's a lovely filly to look forward to next year. You show her something once and she knows what to do.
"I think going up to a mile and a quarter next year she'll be a stakes filly."
It was a one-two for Weld, with another newcomer, 33-1 shot Waitaki, filling the runner-up spot.
"I was very pleased with the second filly. She ran a good race and will probably go for a maiden in a few weeks' time, maybe at Leopardstown," said the trainer.
The Michael O'Callahgan-trained Blue De Vega confirmed the promise of his Dundalk debut with a dominant display in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Maiden.
Two and a half weeks after finishing third at the Co Louth track when favourite, the German-bred colt was 7-2 to get off the mark at the second attempt and he could be called the winner a long way from home.
A smart start saw him ideally positioned rounding the home turn and he quickened clear under hand driving from Emmet McNamara for a four-and-three-quarter-length success.
"The word got out (before his run at Dundalk) that he was working well at home and we've always thought a lot of him," said O'Callaghan.
"He's very well-bred - by Lope De Vega out of a Montjeu mare. He has a lot of natural speed and you saw that today.
"He travelled so well into the race, but he's probably bred for a mile and a quarter or a mile and a half.
"He has a great attitude, he's very forward-going and loves his work. He's a lovely horse to have in the yard and he excites you in the morning - nothing can get him off the bridle at home.
"He had a good blow afterwards, and should come on again.
"He could go for the Kilavullan Stakes. He'll have just one more run this year before we put him away for the winter."
There was a thrilling climax to the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Premier Nursery, with Mint Chai getting up on the line to beat odds-on favourite Landofhopeandglory.
The latter was the 8-11 market leader for Aidan O'Brien after a debut victory at the Galway Festival and travelled into the straight travelling well.
However, he showed signs of his inexperience when push came to shove, hanging under pressure for Joseph O'Brien, and although he rallied when joined by 8-1 shot Mint Chai, the Ger Lyons-trained juvenile took the valuable prize by a head under Colin Keane.
Lyons' brother and assistant, Shane, said: "It was a very tough performance.
"If you looked at Aidan's horse beforehand, you'd be worried off the mark he was off, but Colin was brilliant on him (Mint Chai) and rode him with plenty of confidence.
"It was a good battle from a furlong out and he stuck to his guns and battled well.
"A gelding operation has been the making of him. He's filled into himself and looks a man now.
"A good ground goes on any ground and he's proven he's a good horse."
The formidable Weld-Smullen combination completed a double with Katimavik (5-1) in the naasracecourse.com Handicap.
Louis Leroy was a 12-1 winner of the Panoramic Restaurant At Naas Racecourse Handicap, while Follow Naas On Facebook Handicap went to 16-1 shot Hatton Cross.
