Bowman to hit the sweet spot on Five G Patch

Tony Cruz and Hugh Bowman are teaming up with Five G Patch in the Venus Handicap over 11 furlongs (11.15am) at Happy Valley on Wednesday. FiveG Patch is the son of Derby winner Camelot and has a poor record in Hong Kong. He finished behind the market leader twice in recent races. The trainer believes Fiveg Patch could be aiming for the stayers' crown by the end of this season. Hugh is a better jockey than Tony Cruz in long-distance races and he can steer Five g Patch back into the winners' circle.
