The veteran gelding was impressive in outclassing a high-quality field to take out the Group 2 Chelmsford Stakes at Randwick on Saturday.
Mister Sea Wolf sat behind stablemate Wu Gok for much of the journey before peeling out at the top of the straight and racing to the line.
Jockey Nash Rawiller said the Chris Waller-trained nine-year-old was always going to be tough to beat.
"He was presented here today in beautiful order, the mile was always going to suit him" Rawiller told Sky Racing.
"I was getting into a bit of a fight with him earlier to try and find a rhythm. When I saw Adam (Hyeronimus) coming across at a genuine tempo, I thought 'oh at least I've got a backside to follow.'
"He switched off quite well in the run and getting through with a big kick, he was going to be hard to run down."
Mister Sea Wolf's victory came on a successful day for Kembla trainers, with Kerry Parker's Think It Over running third in a benchmark 94 at the Sydney track.
The gelding will now be prepared for the Group 3 Kingston Town Stakes at the same venue in two weeks.
Parker also enjoyed success up in Hawkesbury, with Tampering running second in a 1400m benchmark 68.
Brett Lazzarini's Frazil finally broke through for her first win with the trainer, taking out a 2000m class one and maiden plate.
