Meerkat ran her ragged, to be more precise (6,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nearer the mark

'be more precise' is the definition.

'meerkat ran her ragged' is the wordplay.
'ragged' is an anagram indicator.
'meerkat'+'ran'+'her'='meerkatranher'
'meerkatranher' anagrammed gives 'NEARER THE MARK'.

'to' is the link.
