Locally trained five-year-old Jaytees placed in nine of eleven starts should break through in the 2 Flies Runner Up Gabe Rivett Maiden Plate (1600 metres) at Saturday’s Wyong race meeting.

The gelding was placed in seven of nine when trained last year by Gerald Ryan. Jaytees is now trained by Tracey Bartley and the Wyong trainer has given him two starts in strong fields and he has been runner up in both starts.

On September 19, Jaytees ran the smart Zorocat to a head over 900 metres at Newcastle. On October 8 he was run down late by the talented Never Second over 1100 metres at Gosford.

Jaytees is very fast and has drawn nicely on Saturday.
