Lifford Race 2

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $431

BALLYCOWEN IZZY (6) goes very well at the course with three wins and a placing from six starts. In the money last time at this track (29.67) in an A4, finishing a 4.5 lengths third. Rates a leading player. STRIVE FOR GOLD (3) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.38 beating MINEOLA REDEEM. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in her latest win. Sure to be thereabouts. HARRYS PIP (5) has some solid form under her belt and proved too classy last time to win by 4 lengths at this track in a handy 29.44 beating Sniper Ava. Won at her only start from this draw. Significant danger. SMURFING LEGACY (2) is one of the chances after collecting a minor prize last time.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 480m in an A4 at this track. Hard to make a case on this occasion.

Good performance after tracking the speed to score in an A7 by 4 len at this track over 480m (29.44). Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Finished third last start over 480m at this track behind Tippenyaki in an A4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Key chance on best form.
