Lifford Race 8

525 Yds (A4)

Prize Money: $557

VELVET FERNANDO (1) is a talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been on speed to score at his last couple of runs. Scored latest at this track in a handy 29.44. Got the money at his only try from this box. Expected to go well again. ARDAGH MADRID (2) stalked the lead and fought on well to finish 5 lengths away in third (29.88) at this track in an A3 over 480m. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Leading player again. BURNPARK BORIS (3) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 6 lengths at this track in a handy 29.39 beating Ardnasool Lady. One of the leading chances again. SNIPERKEVINBARRY (4) has claims fresh from a recent placing.

Turned in a better effort over 480m at this track last start, finishing third behind Mineola Man From in an A3. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Among the chances with the right run.
