Just Call Me Angel Runs Away with Premio Dormello for Ed Dunlop

[Wandering Eyes]

Ed Dunlop joined fellow Newmarket trainer George Scott on the San Siro scoresheet when sending out Just Call Me Angel (Dark Angel) to win Sunday's G3 Premio Dormello in impressive fashion.

The Cayton Park Stud homebred raced in a clear second behind the freewheeling Flowe Stone (Sergei Prokofiev) until eating into the leader's advantage early in the straight. Clearly relishing the step up to a mile, she moved to the lead entering the final two furlongs and proceeded to power clear in the hands of Robert Havlin, ultimately winning by two and a quarter lengths. Endo Botti saddled the next three home as Kebrilla (Saxon Warrior) and Reina Julieta (Inns Of Court) completed the frame, just ahead of favourite Chelsea Believe (Make Believe).

Just Call Me Angel has now won three of her last four starts for the Dunlop stable. After beating the subsequent G3 Oh So Sharp Stakes winner Calendar Girl (Advertise) to open her account at Epsom in August, she then followed up in a nursery at Kempton, before finishing third in a similar event at Newmarket.

Pedigree Notes

Just Call Me Angel is the second winner from as many runners out of the winning Shamardal mare Be More, a full-sister to the G3 Sha Tin Vase and G3 Premier Cup runner-up Born In Bombay. Their dam is the G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes third Pearl Dance (Nureyev), whose other progeny include the G3 Prix Chloe winner Sparkling Beam (Nayef) and G1 Prix Marcel Boussac third Rainbow Springs (Selkirk), the dam of the G3 Prix Francois Boutin runner-up Oneforthegutter (Muhaarar). This is also the family of the G1 Melbourne Cup winner Delta Blues (Dance In The Dark).
