Leopardstown 1:35 Result

Highest OR (100) in the field by a clear margin, from the powerful O'Brien/Coolmore/Ryan Moore axis. Form figures 42414 look moderate on paper but this is a filly who has been running against smart company (likely Group/Listed) and has already shown solid speed at 2. Frankel fillies typically progress well with experience and step up in trip/class, and the booking of Ryan Moore for the stable's leading contender signals confidence. First-time hood may sharpen focus. Draw 1 isn't ideal but the O'Brien team have won this type of race before with tactical speed. Bellesque and Blonde Over Blue (both Joseph O'Brien, OR 91) are the obvious market rivals, with Blonde Over Blue wearing a tongue tie and stepping forward nicely (form 145), but Ibelieveicanfly's superior official rating and the strength of connections give her the material edge in a race that lacks a standout proven Listed winner. Timeless Tale (McCreery) won last time out impressively but unrated and unproven against this depth. Overall this looks the strongest each-way heavy affair but the class edge favours the Ballydoyle filly with the big rating.
