Sedgefield Race 5 - Betvickers Supporting British Racing Handicap Hurdle
STAR VANTAGE (3) maintains form claims judging on a 3.5L fourth at Musselburgh in a much stronger race than this. Longstanding maiden with ability to win and won't find many better opportunities than this. FABULEUX DU CLOS (1) has not been seen in this sphere for fifteen months. Clearly had issues but might be fit following a recent start on the flat. Keep safe. OCEAN LEGACY (5) may benefit for the application of cheekpieces. Enjoys this jockey and rates a major winning chance. THE WISE TRAVELLER (2) is honest. Consider each way.

Second-up today. Fresh up after five months finished fourth in a small field at this track on March 20 over 5400m, 32 len behind Musique De Fee with 73.5kg at $21. Previously second-up finished seventh of 8 starters at Hereford on October 14 over 5100m, 36 len behind Craven Bay with 72kg at $9.50. Definite chance. Liked the look of last run and can feature again.
