Dansili’s Just Wonderful Emulates Her Dam In the Rockfel

[Wandering Eyes]

   Seven years on from her dam Wading (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) impressing on what would prove her career swansong in Newmarket’s G2 Rockfel S., her daughter Just Wonderful (Dansili {GB}) cut a similar dash when dominating Friday’s Shadwell-sponsored renewal. Only seventh in The Curragh’s G1 Moyglare Stud S. 12 days earlier, the TDN Rising Star who had previously taken the G3 Flame of Tara S. over a mile there Sept. 1 raced under restraint on the far rail tracking Main Edition (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) throughout the early stages. Cajoled to that long-time leader approaching the furlong pole, the 7-2 second favourite quickly had her measure and readily asserted for an authoritative 1 3/4-length success from Dandhu (GB) (Dandy Man {Ire}), with Main Edition 1 1/2 lengths away in third. “She’s a filly I’ve always thought a lot of and she’ll be nice next year,” Ryan Moore commented.
