RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: GATESYS GEM (7) is resuming since winning the New South Wales Derby in May. She has been very impressive at the trials with a win at Geelong and a second behind Watts Up Partytime at Melton, where she picked up ground in a sizzling final quarter of 27.3 seconds. She is a quality horse and a bold showing first up is expected. LADY VICI (8) is shooting for nine straight victories and has been very impressive in her three attempts since resuming. She led throughout and scored comfortably over Dichotomy at her latest attempt. KEAYANG GUCCI (6) gained a nice trail and missed out narrowly behind Remus Phoenix (won again since) at Melton then overcame a tough run to win at Melton. She is a good quality mare and is worth an investment. KYVALLEY MAVEN (1) and VALTINO (10) are both racing well enough to feature prominently.   EARLY SPEED: 7 (possible leader), 1,3,5,6 RATINGS: 7/ 8/ 6/ 1,10/ 3/ 9
