Sedgefield Race 6

Jk Construction Handicap Chase

Stake: $12,481

HOLD ONTO THE LINE (1) arrives in strong form having produced a 1.5L win attempting a 3300m Newcastle steeplechase. Subsequently denied 3.5L when third at Wetherby. Hard to beat. BENY NAHAR ROAD (3) performed creditably two starts back at Newcastle running 9L third attempting 3280m. Finds a suitable contest to improve. PURE SURF (5) won latest outing by 0.5L over 4000m at Newcastle. Respect. FLASH IN THE PARK (2) cannot be discounted with the application of first-time cheekpieces.

Resuming after a seven months break. Finished off last campaign 6 of 13 starters at Warwick September 24 over 4000m, 23 len behind Smurfette carrying 76kg at $15. When resuming last campaign 9 of 13 runners at Worcester July 25 over 4000m, 26 len behind A Definite Getaway carrying 73.5kg at $12. This looks tough and others preferred.
