The Coolmore partners' G1 Fillies' Mile heroine Precise (Starspangledbanner) has been awarded a mark of 113p by Timeform for her Newmarket heroics.
She leads the rankings for her age and sex, with Aidan O'Brien stablemate and G1 Cheveley Park Stakes winner True Love (No Nay Never) is second at 111. G1 Prix Morny victress Venetian Sun (Starman) is third for Karl Burke at 110p, while another O'Brien runner, G1 Prix Marcel Boussac winner Diamond Necklace (St Mark's Basilica) is fourth at 109p. Group winner and G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes second Beautify (Wootton Bassett) and Cheveley Park Stakes runner-up Havana Anna (Havana Grey) share a rank of 108.
Precise ranks below wide-margin Fillies Mile winners and subsequent G1 1000 Guineas heroines Desert Flower (Night Of Thunder) (118) and Minding (Galileo) (121).
Timeform handicapper Simon Baker said, “Aidan O'Brien tightened his stranglehold on the division by winning a third Group 1 for two-year-old fillies inside two weeks, and Precise's win in the Fillies' Mile looks a superior effort to those that saw True Love win the Cheveley Park and Diamond Necklace the Marcel Boussac.
“There are only a few pounds in it either way, though, and with big-priced runners completing the placings, it's hard to rate this as a vintage Fillies' Mile, allowing that Precise won it with her ears pricked, looking value for at least another length.”
