Lifford Race 5

525 Yds (A5)

Prize Money: $423

BALLINABOLA FINN (5) quickly into stride to win over the 480m at this track two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing second at this track last start. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Key chance in this line up. BLUE JIG MOLLY (3) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (30.94) last time in an A5 at this track. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Shapes as one to consider. BELLATRIX DOLL (6) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 4.5 lengths at this track in a handy 29.59 beating Crokers Mick. Significant danger. CROKERS BALE (1) returns here with a good chance to improve on last time.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 480m (29.55). In solid form and can win without surprising.

Below best last start when he finished last in an A4 on May 1 over 480m at Shelbourne Park behind Beat It Slow beaten 50 lengths (1:39.99). Will not find this easy. Not keen.
