Snowden-trained son of Exosphere to line up at Rosehill in the Inglis 3YO Guineas.

Last-start Hawkesbury Guineas (Gr 3, 1400m) winner Exoboom (Exosphere) will be out to add another stakes race to his record when he takes his chance in the Inglis 3YO Guineas (RL, 1400m) at Rosehill on Saturday. 

The three-year-old launched late to win the Hawkesbury Guineas last start and while he snuck under the guard of punters as an $8 chance, the performance did not surprise the Peter and Paul Snowden stable. 

"The ability was always there so he just had to take it to the next level on race day and he did that," Peter Snowden said. 

"He sat back and went around the whole field and won well. There was no fluke in that, he's a well above average horse." 

Exoboom was marked at $3.30 with TAB fixed odds on Thursday and he will have Regan Bayliss aboard, replacing the suspended Sam Clipperton. 

The Snowdens will take the gelding to Queensland after this weekend and are weighing up several winter carnival options, including the Fred Best Classic (Gr 3, 1400m) at Eagle Farm on May 29 and even a possible Stradbroke Handicap (Gr 1, 1400m) tilt. 

"He will definitely go to Brisbane but what he runs in there, we'll decide after what he does at Scone," Snowden said.
