Lifford Race 7

525 Yds (A3)

Prize Money: $620

MEENAGH MANILA (1) could manage only second but ran swift time (29.24) at this track over 480m. Has the ability and expected to go close again. URBANESQUE (2) is a super honest type rarely out of the placings, including wins at her last four on end, the latest at this track (29.42). Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. HARROGATETOWNBAZ (3) drew trap 4 last start and was game in defeat when a close second, one length from URBANESQUE (29.49) at this track. Bold showing expected. UP FROM ESKRAGH (4) was strongly supported last start but missed the frame when sixth (30.04), beaten 12 lengths.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found one better over 480m in an A4 at this track. Back on track last time but this looks a stern test.

Could only manage sixth when resuming last start over 480m at this track in an A3 (30.04). Better for the run but looks safely held.
