Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 5 Journalists Posted September 5 Ahmad Alkhallafi's homebred Moonrise (Churchill) made light work of a three-pound penalty for annexing July's G3 Princess Margaret Stakes and the Listed Windsor Castle runner-up led from pillar to post, doubling her Group-race tally, in Saturday's G3 William Hill Sirenia Stakes at Kempton. Sent forward from her outside stall to claim an early advantage, the 11-4 second favourite kicked clear of toiling rivals inside the final quarter-mile and kept on powerfully to easily account for Shimmering Sun (Havana Grey) and Social Symbol (Violence) by 3 3/4 lengths and a neck. Pedigree Notes Moonrise, half-sister to a yearling colt by Ghaiyyath, is the third of four foals and leading performer from two winners out of a multiple-winning half-sister to Listed Winkfield Stakes runner-up Strictly Silca (Danehill Dancer). Her second dam, G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes runner-up and G1 Cheveley Park Stakes third Silca Chiave (Pivotal), is kin to five black-type performers headed by G1 Prix Morny heroine Silca's Sister (Inchinor) and the multiple Group 1-placed dual Group 2 winner Golden Silca (Inchinor).
