Lifford Race 3

525 Yds (A6)

Prize Money: $533

SNIPER BIG LES (1) stalked the pace from a low draw last start and fought on well to finish 4 lengths away in third (29.86) at this track in an A6 over 480m. Can measure up this time. CLOONAGHMORE (2) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (29.98), beaten 5.5 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Likely to be about the money. DE BONDS BEND (3) is overdue for a maiden success having placed at three of 10 starts, the latest missing the frame when sixth at this track. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. FRIDAYS VAN GAAL (4) is a last-start placegetter who will have admirers.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in an A6 on August 9 over 480m at this track behind Solo Mia beaten 5.5 lengths (29.98). Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.5 lengths into second over 480m at this track. Heading the right way looks well placed to salute.

Solid performance after racing on the speed to score in an A6 by 2 len at this track over 480m (29.70). Must be a winning chance again.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Better off looking to others.
