Leopardstown Race 3 - Ballylinch Stud 'Priory Belle' Stakes (Fillies' Group 3)
EXACTLY (6) won at this level over course and distance in the G3 Killavullan Stakes when last seen during October. Choice of Ryan Moore and rates a leading player. BUBBLING (1) holds definite claims in view of a 2.25L victory at Newmarket tackling 1408m. Warrants consideration. MERRILY (7) holds G3 form based on a triumph attempting the 1408m Oh So Sharp Stakes at Newmarket in latest. Not discounted. SPARKLING SEA (11) comes unexposed having only faced the starter twice. Keep onside.
