GOING: G(4)

VALE GERARD PATTERSON HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD4 Clouds (Max: 31) Rail: True.
Pace strong with Lord Gannicus and Dug Another Hole leading with Timeless Gem nearby. TIMELESS GEM (5) won in this grade over 1200m here 4 weeks ago, and he will still be on the up with his fitness at his third run back from a spell. He is up 2kg in weight, but that should not be enough to stop him from winning again. CASHEL PALACE (6) dropped in class and unleashed a big run to finish all over the top of her rivals here 9 days ago. She drops 3kg and is capable of another big run. Stick with her on an each-way basis. SILVER EYE (3) has not won for some time, and has also yet to win on this track, but he has been placed on 4 occasions. He has a good gate and can figure in the top 4. LORD GANNICUS (1) resumes from a spell and is likely to need the run, but his class can't be ignored. Include to be safe. DUG ANOTHER HOLE (8) finds it hard to win, but is racing well, and he has not missed a cheque in 7 starts here, including a win. He is down in weight and should also be included in all top 4 combos. SUGGESTED PLAY: Timeless Gem each-way.
