The three-year-old son of Dubawi was second behind Smokey Bear in a six-furlong handicap off a mark of 100 at Newmarket last weekend but he thrived over the minimum trip at Sandown.
Allowed to bowl along in front by Buick after no other jockey made an attempt to make the running, Lazuli justified 15/8 favouritsim in style as he bounded clear by three-and-a-half lengths.
Buick said: "He ran very well at Newmarket last weekend and he was very good today, very quick.
"He gave me a good feel and coming back from six to five now, he will be a good sprinter.
"He would stay six, but he is quick enough for five and you can ride him with that bit more confidence that he will get home.
"For a relatively inexperienced horse, he has a lot of race experience and obviously a lot of speed.
"I thought it was a decent race, I didn't think it would be easy for him, but he handled it well.
"He had a wind op since he disappointed at the end of last season and obviously it has worked well.
"He's a three-year-old sprinter, he feels like a proper sprinter and I can only see him improving. I certainly wouldn't want to set any limits on how high I think he can go.
"Charlie will make a plan, but the programme is pretty tricky for three-year-old sprinters. I think he's a very nice horse in the making, that's for sure."
