Home in on Honcho in Backgraders semi-final

NEWLINE HONCHO can strengthen his claims in the A2 Backgraders 575 Stakes at Curraheen Park by landing the second of tonight’s semi-finals.

The selection set the standard last week, turning in a top class performance to record a clear-cut 31.20 success.

Newline Honcho was soon at the head of affairs last time and, despite a switch to the outside, should take plenty of pegging back.
