Lifford Race 11 - 525 Yds (A6)

RAINS LIGHTNING (2) turned in a plain performance last time when sixth at this track over 480m behind Monroe Max (30.26) in an A5. Placed at her previous run. Has performed well from this box with a win and 10 minor placings to her name from 19 starts. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MONAGORE BILL (4) took the sit on the lead from a low draw but levelled up and led around the bend to score (29.74) at this track in an A7 over 480m. Can make it two on the bounce. FRIDAYS VAN GAAL (5) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (30.04) last time in an A6 at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from three starts. Has the ability to give this a shake. MATTS MISSION (3) collected a minor prize last start and must be considered.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, adding to some plain results of late. Prepared to overlook.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished last on March 1 over 480m at this track behind Monroe Max beaten 7 lengths (30.26) in an A5. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Good effort after tracking the speed to score in an A7 by 1.3 len at this track over 480m (29.74). Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just 1.3 lengths into second over 480m at this track. May find this a bit too tough.
