IRE-Incentive, It Pays To Buy Irish Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes (Group 3)

Acclamation Star's second one start back reads as a clear marker of ability, and her win earlier in this run of starts shows she can find the line; our rating of 94 supports her place among the principals. The concern is that she has finished seventh on her latest appearance.

Dark Issue won three starts back and shaped with promise when fourth two starts back, giving her a lively profile at this trip; the absence of 40 days and that eighth last time out are the chief concerns.

Ranked well down the field on our figures, Elevating faces a stiff task, and a fifth last time out does little to inspire confidence, though she has run over today's trip and a win the start before shows she retains ability when things click.

Ranked tenth of eleven on our figures, Fillipas faces a stiff ask, but she does arrive on the back of a win last time out and has run over today's trip, with an earlier second adding a touch of form depth.

Harlequin Sky has shown glimpses, with a third three starts back, yet she remains winless in her last five outings and that sixth two starts back clouds the picture; experience over today's trip and a 26-day freshener give her every chance from stall two at 128 lb.
