Lifford Race 5

525 Yds (A4)

Stake: $465

ROUGH BONO (6) showed good early burn and was there until turning but swamped late to finish 6th at this track in A4 company. Comes through a solid form race last start. Has ability and is a key runner. BLUE JIG MOLLY (4) was well in the market last time but only managed fifth (30.12), beaten 6 lengths. Finished third the start before. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from three starts. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. KILLMACS BEST (2) won again in quick time to make it two on the bounce, scoring at Derry over 457m (28.46). Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Leading chance again. HARRYS PEPPER (3) was in the money last start at this track and distance - poses a threat again.

Finished fifth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found a couple better over 480m in an A4 at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Winner two starts back at this track over 480m in 29.33. Last start found the minor prize over 480m at this track in A3. Going better than form suggests. Don't underestimate.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 5th over 480m at this track beaten 6 lengths (30.12) behind Killmacs Best in an A4 on April 6. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Below best last start when he finished last over 480m at this track beaten 8 lengths (30.13) behind Freedom Tonic in an A4 on April 6. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Latest effort finished last in an A4 on March 30 over 480m at this track behind Rains Bridie beaten 9 lengths (30.25). Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.
