Lifford Race 9

525 Yds (A7)

Stake: $639

BALLYHOE CRUISER (5) finished well back at this track last time when a 11 length fifth (30.96) but scored four back at this track (29.91). Looks the one to beat on his best form. FRIDAYS ARMINTA (6) did a good job to finish second last time out over 480m at this track (30.01) in an A7, the second top-three finish on the trot. Can hit the frame this time. SNIPER AVA (2) was always prominent from this same draw last time and boxed on well to place (30.41) in an A7 over 480m at this track. Rates a key player. NONIE (3) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts ago but finished fourth last time (30.16) at this track.

Good effort last time when third (30.65) over 480m at this track. Coming off a solid run but has won just eight of 109 runs. Looks to have the job ahead.
