Precise was last season’s leading juvenile filly and she has continued that trend as a three-year-old. The daughter of Starspangledbanner was an impressive winner of the Irish 1000 Guineas and followed up in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot. The older horses will find that giving her 9lb will be a difficult task.
