Dazzling shines on reappearance

Joseph O'Brien was on Dazzling of the Ballydoyle trio in the Listed Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Salsabil Stakes at Navan and he got the decision right as the daughter of Galileo prevailed.
She made all too, O'Brien asking for more from Dazzling from over a furlong out. She found plenty under pressure inside the final furlong to see off Cristal Fashion by a length and three parts.
Dazzling's stable companion Terrific came home well from the back to be a nose off Cristal Fashion, in third, under Seamie Heffernan.
The 2/1 favourite I'm Yours had to settle for fourth.
Aidan O'Brien reported: "I'm delighted. She's a lovely staying filly and she'll get further.
"She looks an Oaks filly and she'll have a run between now and then somewhere.
"She should get a mile and a half I would imagine.
"That was her first run – she wasn't finished and she should come on from it.
"I was delighted with the third filly also." (GC & EM)
