Sedgefield Race 6 - Paul Richardson Visiting Sedgefield Today Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)
THE GEM STATE (4) made an encouraging start finishing runner up in a 4828m point to point at Rathcannon five months ago. Now joins the powerful Paul Nicholls stable. Open to plenty of improvement and looks hard to beat. CONNELLS CROSS (1) is progressing nicely after only two appearances. Followed a Perth second with a decisive course-and-distance success earlier this month. Could give another bold sight. MORDS LAVIE SPIGAO (7) is an appealing newcomer by Tunis out of Gout A La Vie. Any market confidence would be significant. DATSTHEHOLYALLOFIT (5) showed promise when fourth debuting here. Can build on that effort.

Having third race start. Was promising at debut made ground from midfield; finished second in a small field at Perth on May 15 over 3200m, 4.5 len behind Not For Passin with 65kg at $3. Returned from break won by 0.5 len this track on March 10 over 3400m defeating Bourbon Girl carrying 71kg at $2.30. Can improve on first up performance. Very hard to beat switching to the jumps.

This Telescope bred gelding is now five-year-old and his having his first race start. Might just need this run but watch the market.

Resuming after a break; only had one start last when he was finished second of 11 runners at Rathcannon P2p on November 2 over 4828m, 2 len behind Majestic Horizon with 60kg. Winning chance.

Is second-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start ran last in a small field at this track on March 10 over 3400m, 12 len behind Connells Cross carrying 71kg at $11. Likely to improve going over the jumps this time.

This Sir Percy bred mare is now five-year-old and his having her first race start. Tough assignment on her first outing so tempted to favour others.

Four-year-old gelding by Tunis out of Gout A La Vie has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having his first start today. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Likely to be well fancied.

This Order Of St George bred gelding is now four-year-old and his having his first race start. Tough test at his first appearance so prefer to see.
