Sedgefield Race 1

Fairlight Studios At Sedgefield Racecourse Mares' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Stake: $15,769

Irish raider HERJA (1) was 2.75L second over 3300m at Bangor-On-Dee on penultimate start. Can build on that after a less impactful effort in latest at the same venue. KOTTAYAM (2) placed third tackling 3200m at Uttoxeter two runs ago. Fell tackling a 4100m maiden hurdle at Market Rasen last time. Might bounce back. LIPSTICK TRACES (3) finished fourth attempting 3200m at Worcester returning from a break and may strip fitter. VOODOO ANGEL (4) might feature.

Freshened for 62 days. Last run didn't finish the race at Bangor-On-Dee on July 4 over 3900m. The start before that; raced on speed throughout then finished second of 8 starters at Bangor-On-Dee on June 6 over 3300m, 2.75 len behind Solent Gateway with 68.5kg at $2.30. A big rebound wouldn't surprise.
