Sent postward as the 17-10 favourite for Sunday’s G1 Darley Prix Morny at Deauville, Stonestreet Stables’ Campanelle (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) added lustre to a banner season for Tally-Ho Stud with a dominant performance in her first outing beyond the five-furlong trip. She had opened up with an impressive 3 1/2-length score over five in her May 31 unveiling at Gulfstream Park, stepping up to garner Royal Ascot’s June 20 G2 Queen Mary dash on black-type bow in her only other start, and the April-foaled bay went straight to the head of affairs in this straight six-furlong test. Campanelle was comfortable in front for the most part, but a battle looked in store when rivals stacked up in behind as she came under pressure approaching the final furlong. However, any concerns about stretching out to six on softened ground were quickly dismissed as she found more than enough under Frankie Dettori’s urgings inside the final furlong to comfortably hold the vain bids of G2 Coventry S. victor Nando Parrado (GB) (Kodiac {GB}) and Rhythm Master (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) by two lengths and a neck, respectively, and remain undefeated.
