Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Winning claims. SNOOPING (4) flew the lids from out wide with an impressive turn of foot before finishing second (25.08) and beaten 4 lengths over 431m at this track. Expected to feature again. MR. SPECKLE (7) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last six runs. Last start finished 2nd on February 11 over 527m at this track behind Wongaboori Belle beaten 0.8 lengths (30.86) in a Mix. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Leading chance. JUNGLE MISS (6) cannot be left out despite coming off a short break.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at Dubbo. Prefer in something easier.
