Salisbury Race 5 - Ire-Incentive, It Pays To Buy Irish Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes (Fillies' Group 3)
DARK ISSUE (2) won nicely on debut down at Goodwood before running a mighty race at Royal Ascot in the G3 Albany Stakes. Disappointed revisiting there in July but should be seen to better effect in this contest. NUIT D'ECLAIR (11) made a fine start to her career. Not beaten far in the G3 Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket a month ago and retains potential back down in grade. MISS KODI (9) held her form well at a higher level and is worth giving another chance in this class after a fair run at York tackling the G2 Lowther Stakes. LOLA DE VALENCE (7) warrants thought winning on her second start at Nottingham.
