Lifford Race 9 - 525 Yds (A6)
BALLYHOE CRUISER (5) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and three minors from 12 tries. In the money last time at this track (30.04) in an A6, finishing a 5 length third. Makes strong appeal on best. FRIDAYS VAN GAAL (6) quickly into stride and found the front, leading until late when second (29.93) at this track in an A6 over 480m. Can measure up. DROOPYS LITEFOOT (1) was prominent early from trap 4 and did a fair job to be beaten 2.5 lengths into third (30.05) at this track in an A6 over 480m. Must be included in calculations. SNIPER BIG LES (3) placed last time and cannot be ignored.

Moderate effort last start when she finished 4th on July 25 over 480m at this track behind Train Blossom beaten 4 lengths (30.16) in an A6. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 480m in an A6 at this track. The recent effort suggests he is ready to win.
