Lifford Race Fields - 7th Dec 2024

The hopes for GOLAN MUM (trap 4) will be sky high and she should just need things to go according to plan to put these rivals firmly in their place. Milldam Mary (trap 3) will be better for greater track experience but a big run still looks on the cards. Crokers World (trap 1) has shown enough ability in trials to suggest he will be no back number either.

NORDEN RAIDER (trap 3) has a clear-cut chance and is likely to attract the weight of punter's cash as a hassle-free run may be all that's needed to hammer these. The trial work of Itsdowntoyou (trap 6) has been encouraging and it points to a big effort on his debut. The qualifying trials of Easy Mucker (trap 1) speak fairly loudly, will the market?

Everything points to a big run from FRIDAYS NIGERIA (trap 6) as she can be expected to beat these if things open up in the contest when she needs them to. It will be interesting to see if any support comes for Brasidas (trap 1) as he doesn't have much to find off trials. The trial efforts of Midas Miguel (trap 4) haven't been too sluggish in the context of this contest.

It's not often the done thing getting too excited about newcomers, but DRVEEN LASS (trap 2) is an exception after an eye-catching batch of qualifying trials. The hopes of Moss Gem (trap 4) making a winning debut are fairly high after some satisfactory qualifying spins. Off trials, Reenaderry Road (trap 3) hasn't been set a tough task and can be there or thereabouts.

Qualifying trials suggest DO IT SAL (trap 1) won't be long in opening her account and she seemingly has next to nothing to find on debut today. Off of qualifying trials, Drumdoit Pat (trap 3) seemingly has what's required to win at this level, so he is feared. Ardnasool North (trap 4) makes his first appearance and he may be best saved for another day.

KENYAN SPARK (trap 3) ticks a good few boxes against this level of opposition and she can establish her superiority over these before swinging for home. Abba One (trap 4) is something of a new kid in class here but he cannot be underestimated. Steeple Rd Suki (trap 5) will probably have to create her own luck from five.

A close eye should be put on the progress of DUNDALK DOLL (trap 5) and she has shown enough to suggest she can be competitive in this contest. Ardnasool Ezme (trap 4) will be better for track experience but may still be good enough to run close in this. Sam Your Man (trap 3) is not lacking skills but may be requiring a few of these to have off days.

The odds of SNIPER BIG JOE (trap 4) are invariably kept on the short side given his ability within this grade and he has an excellent chance in this. Itswhatitis (trap 6) continues on a learning curve of the track and may have to give best to the selection. The draw for Lotus Hunter (trap 5) isn't ideal, but he is no X-out just on the back of it.

MAISIES SUSIE (trap 2) has a strong following here and there's no obvious reason why her fans won't be back for more today as she looks the most likely. With a good rails make-up, Promises To Keep (trap 1) should enjoy the run of the race and can go close. Rough Ranger (trap 5) has a chance of sorts and could be slugging it out in the closing stages.

This looks a fairly straight-forward task for MINEOLA REDEEM (trap 5) and he should take plenty of beating if enjoying the rub of the green. Bosco Lad (trap 3) has plenty of weaponry in his armoury and is entitled to run the selection close. Be Flashy (trap 6) has returned a fair batch of practice spins and is worth monitoring.

HOW YA FIXED (trap 1) has more scope than most so is worth noting in the market. If the money comes, it could be wise to join in. Tassie Ten (trap 2) is not the most experienced of campaigners round here and could come forward. Roanna Due (trap 3) could put the cat amongst the pigeons with a slice of improvement.

A podium finish should be something of a formality for DAWEDGER (trap 5) against these and he may not need too much to happen to get the job done. Astro Blaze (trap 4) has been given a chance and won't need a second invitation to grab it with both paws. Coppeen Zeus (trap 2) hasn't had many races here, so could improve again.
