Lifford Race 6

525 Yds (A5)

Prize Money: $552

CREEVY CRYSTAL (1) was never in contention last time after losing her position early at this track, but prior to that won easily by 12 lengths at this track (29.69) beating Be Flashy in an A7 on February 1. Has winning claims on her best figures. STAYING HOPEFUL (2) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 480m behind Smurfing Legacy (30.51) in an A5. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. LIPSTICK LUCY (3) was a winner two back but last start drifted back and wound up strongly to finish a 3 length third at this track (29.81). Winning chance. FRIDAYS VAN GAAL (4) was well fancied last time on the strength of his recent form but could only manage second (29.66) at this track. The form out of his last race has been franked. Ready to find winning form.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Others read better.
