Jem shocks connections Katie's Jem put a string of disappointing runs behind her by returning to form under Bryan Cooper in division one of the 2m5f handicap hurdle. De Dodger looked all over the winner when striking the front after two out. However Cooper's mount found another gear on the run-in, quickened up nicely for pressure on the far rail to score by a length and three quarters. The 20/1 winner paid a rewarding 38.50 for a win on the Tote. Turnonthegas was all the rage, backed on track from 5/1 in to half those odds, but dropped away tamely approaching the straight eventually finishing a disappointing 14th. “She wouldn't nornally handle that ground but she shocked us. She did work well last week. She will go to the paddocks soon and the plan is to send her to Stowaway. She's a half-sister to Across The Bay,” said trainer Timothy Cleary.
