Peter and Paul Snowden-trained seven-year-old gelding Snippets Land broke through at odds of $20 to score his first win since taking out the BRC Sprint (Gr 3, 1350m) at Doomben in May 2016 in scoring here. He settled back in 12th place (wide with cover) in the large 17-horse field before fanning deep on straightening. He then came with a strong late run to hit the front nearing the post and score by a halflength. The consistent I'm A Rippa, winner of the BRC Sprint a fortnight previously, tracked the leader (Dreams Aplenty), went to the front shortly after turning for home, only to be caught in the closing stages for a good second after running a bold race. Spectroscope settled beyond midfield on the rails, got along the inner at the home turn, went through to be in a challenging position at the 200m and the held on to take the minor placing.
