Lifford Race 1

525 Yds (A3)

Prize Money: $426

CHARMELEON (2) scored by one length last time (29.53) in an A3 over 480m at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. PROMISES TO KEEP (3) has been a little hard to follow, finishing out of the placings latest but was in winning form two back scoring in an A3 at this track. Expected to do much better this time. ROUGH FREEDOM (1) is right in the mix. STRIVE FOR GOLD (4) boasts a strong record this journey here with two wins and two minors from five tries. Placed last time (29.60) at this track in an A3, finishing second and beaten one length. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just one length into second over 480m at this track. Racing well enough to fully test this field.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A3 at this track. May find this a bit too tough.
