Classic sandcastle — Geraldine holds with symmetry (2,5)

I believe the answer is:
st leger
'symmetry' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'classic sandcastle geraldine holds' is the wordplay.
'holds' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ST LEGER' is hidden in the letters of 'classic sandcastle geraldine'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for st leger that I've seen before include "Annual horse-race for 3-yearolds at Doncaster" , "Classic Doncaster horse race" , "Flat race" , "Annual horse race" , "Annual Doncaster race" .)
