OVERVIEW: SNOWIN (8) is an Andy Gath-trained runner who was third on debut last start after leading at Melton. She’s bred to be a nice horse, sired by Bold Eagle out of Aldebaran Shakira. Barrier eight is a little awkward, but she should improve from her first start with race experience. ASONGOFTHEHEART (9) is a first starter here for Katrina Fitzpatrick. She let down nicely in a recent Ballarat trial. We will learn more about her here, but she appears to have some promise. LEZAMA (6) has been racing well and consistently recently. With the right run, she’s a threat here. ALCOMBZ (3) is first-up here and only having his fifth career start. In his first preparation, he was slow to begin in his races. He should improve with experience, and Courtney Slater’s team are flying. Two other horses to note in this event are first starter GULBAHAR (7) and HENRYS HORSE (1), who is first-up for John Douglas and trialled well. BACK: SNOWIN (8) – 2 units (win)
