Rashit Shaykhutdinov's homebred 2-year-old filly Gain It (GB) (De Treville {GB}–Gagarina {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) registered a snug one-length tally tackling 6 1/2 furlongs at Saint-Cloud last month and returned to that debut scene of that triumph to claim 'TDN Rising Stardom' with a monster exhibition upped to seven furlongs for Saturday's Prix Amber Rama. Adopting different tactics after a sharp exit and in command throughout, the 7-10 favourite was untroubled in the straight and powered ever clear inside the final quarter mile to easily outclass dual winner Ser Sed (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}) by a mightily impressive seven lengths.
Gain It is the latest of five reported foals and one of three scorers out of a winning half-sister to GII San Clemente H. and GII Honeymoon Breeders' Cup H. victrix Altima (GB) (Zafonic) and G3 Prix des Chenes second San Domenico (GB) (Zamindar). The April-foaled bay is a full-sister to Listed Prix Volterra runner-up Gregarina (Fr). Descendants of her third dam Atropa (Vaguely Noble {Ire}) include G3 Prix de Psyche victrix Tenuous (GB) (Generous {Ire}), dual stakes-winning G3 Prix de Cabourg and G3 Prix d'Aumale third Kithira (GB) (Danehill) and stakes-winning dual Group 3 runner-up Tombelaine (First Defence).
