Sunderland Holdings Inc’s Rainbow Heart (Ire) (Born To Sea {Ire}) did not enjoy the clearest of passages when running on at the end of Newmarket’s seven furlongs in her Sept. 29 debut last time, but made amends in style to earn ‘TDN Rising Star’ status tackling the same course and distance Wednesday. In front after a sharp getaway in the hands of Ryan Moore, the 4-6 favourite maintained control throughout and powered clear of Pytilia (Mizzen Mast) once allowed an inch of rein at the quarter-mile marker to easily trounce that rival by an impressive eight lengths.
   Rainbow Heart, kin to a yearling filly by Invincible Spirit (Ire) and a filly foal by Lope de Vega (Ire), is the third foal and lone performer for G2 Prix de Royallieu victress Sea of Heartbreak (Ire) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}), herself a half to German black-type scorer Persefona (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}). Her third dam Dansara (GB) (Dancing Brave) is kin to G1 Irish Oaks heroine Princess Pati (Ire) (Top Ville {Ire}), G2 Great Voltigeur S.-winning sire Seymour Hicks (Fr) (Ballymore {Ire}) and dual Listed Prix Belle de Nuit winner Sidara (Ire) (Golden Fleece), who in turn produced stakes-winning G2 Prix de Malleret runner-up Ancara (GB) (Dancing Brave).
