Mullingar Race 8

525 Yds (A5)

Prize Money: $580

LIGHTFOOT GAIL (5) goes very well this course and distance starting 27 times for nine wins and seven minors. Comes off a (30.17) win last time, scoring by one length in an A5 over 480m at this track. Looks a leading chance on best. SHOEMAKERSFRIEND (2) took the sit on the lead but levelled up to score (29.63) at this track in an A5 over 480m. Can go close again if runs up to latest figure. GUNNER LAD (6) held his own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only one length (30.24) behind LIGHTFOOT GAIL at this track. Must be included in calculations. BUDDY SYSTEM (4) must be among the chances on the last run here.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just one length into second over 480m at this track. Looks to have turned things around so follow him up.

Produced a much better performance last start when second over 480m at this track in an A5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Looks a solid hope.
