Lifford Race 7

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $538

FRIDAYS VAN GAAL (5) pinged the lids and led throughout to score last start (29.78) at this track in A7 over 480m. Can continue on his winning ways. RAINS LIGHTNING (2) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (30.47) in an A5 at this track last time out. Key player on best and worth another try. SNIPER BIG LES (1) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (30.68), beaten 18 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Better than last start and can bounce back. KERRYROAD LAURA (6) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th in an A5 on June 28 over 480m at this track behind Detroit Ace beaten 18 lengths (30.68). Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at her latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 480m (30.47). Looks ready to win.

Solid effort after taking an early lead to score in an A7 by 0.5 len at this track over 480m (29.78). Can make it two on the bounce.
