Cabourg Success For Dandy Man’s Comedy

[Wandering Eyes]

   Entering her first black-type examination on the back of a smooth Doncaster novice stakes success June 29, Barbara Keller’s colour-bearer Comedy (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) proved well up to the standard when making all in Sunday’s G3 Darley Prix de Cabourg at Deauville. Following on from the fellow Karl Burke-trained G3 Prix du Bois scorer Little Kim (GB) (Garswood {GB}), the 8-1 shot had the stand’s rail to help and after giving generously for Ben Curtis throughout pulled out extra to beat compatriot Kodyanna (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) by two lengths.
