Leopardstown Race 5 - Ballylinch Stud Priory Belle Stakes (Fillies' Group 3)
TRUE LOVE (2) is markedly down in grade after finishing eighth in the G1 Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar. Won the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley) prior. Can return to winning ways. BLACK CAVIAR GOLD (4) bids for a hat-trick after a 3L victory at Cork before a 2.75L success in the G3 Weld Park Stakes at The Curragh on final start last season. Dangerous. COMPOSING (1) is stablemate to the top pick. Last seen finishing sixth contesting the G1 Fillies Mile at Newmarket (Rowley). Improvement expected. BLANC DE BLANC (5) cannot be discounted going for three-in-a-row on third career start.

Looking to keep her unbeaten record intact. When well in the market on debut, favourite; won by a neck at Dundalk All Weather January 9 over 1609m defeating Astronomically carrying 58.5kg at $3.30. Last start favourite; won by 3 len at Dundalk All Weather February 27 over 1609m defeating Whatchadoin carrying 58.5kg at $4.50. Terrific chance to continue the strong form.
