Race preview
INCRIMINATION can make it two from two at Dundalk. Ger Lyons' filly, who is quite stoutly-bred being a daughter of Zenyatta's 2010 Breeders' Cup Classic nemesis Blame out of a Singspiel mare, showed plenty of pace when beating a subsequent winner over course and distance on her debut in December. She will need to step up again to beat the 95-rated Exquisite Acclaim but is obviously open to improvement. The latter's mark was raised 7lb after she finished fourth in a Listed contest over 5f at this venue in October having won her maiden over 6f the previous month. Even if she's a little flattered by her new mark, she still sets the bar fairly high. Unconquerable Keen won a fast-ground nursery at Fairyhouse before finishing fourth in the Birdcatcher at Naas. Gelded over the winter, he's another that has to come into calculations although he's unproven on this surface.
