Lifford Race 1

525 Yds (A7)

Prize Money: $529

SNIPER AVA (1) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 30.07 beating TINKS LAD. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. BALLYCOWEN IZZY (6) was strongly fancied last time on the back of a win two back but could only manage third (30.45) at this track. Expecting another good run. DRUMNAFERN ERIU (2) got off the mark last time, scoring by a neck at this track over 480m (30.24). Has placed four times at this track. Harder here but expected to feature again. LIGHTFOOT SHARON (5) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good recent form but could only manage fourth (30.56) at this track.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing second over 480m. No easier here and looks up against it.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 7 lengths (30.56) behind Sniper Ava in an A7 on October 4. Has ability and looks a winning hope.
