Lifford Race 4

525 Yds (A3)

Prize Money: $580

COONAGH HALFWAY (3) comes off an average effort last start when sixth at this track over 480m behind Drumnafern Orey (29.67) in an A1. Can discover winning form. BURNPARK BORIS (4) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fourth (29.53) in an A3 at this track. Solid record here winning five races. Has ability and is one of the better chances. HIGHVIEW MIKE (5) finished well back at this track last time when a 8 length sixth (29.33) but back to the course now of his latest success. Form here at this distance is sound. Expected to feature in the finish. SLIPPY IVAN (1) was strongly fancied last time on the back of some good recent form but could only manage third (29.94) at this track. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win.

Recent form has been ordinary, but she goes well at this track and distance with four wins from eight starts. Capable of a strong show.

Was out of the placings last time over 480m at this track (29.33) in an A2, beaten 8 lengths. Boasts good form here at the journey with three wins and two minor placings from eight tries. Looks one of the chances.
