The Michael Halford trained mare has now won four races and placed four times from 15 starts and in notching her first Black Type win becomes the 54th stakes-winner worldwide for Danehill Dancer.
Deauville Vision is the first foal of the Dr Devious mare Alexia Reveuse, whose dam is a sister to French Group One winner Top Sunrise.
