Harrington fancies It's Showtime Baby to score at Naas

It's Showtime Baby bids to provide trainer Jessica Harrington with a third victory in the last five runnings of the Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Fillies Sprint Stakes at Naas on Sunday.

With a total prize fund of €68,000 up for grabs, the six-furlong Group Three is the most valuable contest on Royal Ascot Trials Day in County Kildare.

Having previously struck gold with subsequent multiple Group One winner Alpha Centauri in 2017 and Servalan 12 months later, Harrington hopes to add to her tally with a Showcasing filly who won on her debut at Dundalk last month.

"She won first time in Dundalk and has been great since," said Harrington.

"She just wouldn't want too much rain, she likes good ground but she's in great form and has come on as you would expect from her debut.

"It's an obvious next step for her and I would hope that Royal Ascot would be next for her definitely, but so is everyone else's fillies in the race!"

It's Showtime Baby is one of seven runners declared, with Jim Bolger's Comhra, Aidan O'Brien's Meditate and the Kieran Cotter-trained Matilda Picotte all last-time-out winners.

Donnacha O'Brien saddles La Dolce Vita, who steps up in class after finishing a promising third on her introduction at this track three weeks ago.

He said: "She's in good form. She'd a good run the first day, she was third first time out over track and trip.

"Obviously, she's got to improve to be competitive in a Group race but we're hopeful of a good run from her on Sunday."

The first Stakes race on the card is the Sole Power Sprint Stakes, which features last year's winner Logo Hunter and the high-class Make A Challenge.
