Newcastle Race 3 - Roflow Dust & Fume Lev Systems Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

THE CURSOR (1) resumes after a 281-day break but was a dominant last-start winner at Doncaster over 2392m, scoring by 3.25L. NEW YORK MINUTE (2) comes off a recent 3rd at Southwell over 2233m and has two wins from his last five starts, including strong staying form at Southwell late last year. LUDO'S LANDING (4) won over this track and trip two starts back before a midfield finish at Musselburgh. MACHETE (3) has placed twice from his last five, including a 3rd at Chelmsford over 2816m, but was well beaten here last time. MELINDA (5) resumes after a long spell, having won her last start at Musselburgh over 3130m. The Cursor (1) and New York Minute (2) look the leading hopes based on recent winning form and consistency.
