    Verdict

    There is nothing between this quintet on official ratings. A Little Bit Me made all for a clear-cut success in a Listowel handicap last time but MUSIC BOX also likes to lead and was only headed close home at Fairyhouse last time. The Ballydoyle filly gets the nod today as she finished ahead of Ma Fee Heela when second to Irish 2000 Guineas third Irishcorrespondent at Leopardstown earlier. Branch Line is consistent enough but Alfredo Arcano will need to improve on recent efforts to land this.
