Snip Esprit simply too good
Snip Esprit gave a great sight for stable followers yesterday at Ascot winning the last race on the program in brilliant fashion.
Paul Harvey settled the gelding back in 11th position on the fence. At the 600m it wasn’t looking to rosy for the son of Bel Esprit though with nothing but horses’ rumps in front of him it took the skill and experienced of Harvey to find clear running for Snip Esprit.
When the gap appeared Snip showed his wonderful sprint and raced away to triumph by 1 lengths. From here it is now onto the Bunbury stakes over 1400m in a race which he should be very competitive in.

Snip Esprit ready to roll
Stable star Snip Esprit will compete in a 0-79 1200m handicap at Ascot on Saturday. First up the son of Bel Esprit ran a good race when coming from at least 10 lengths off the leader on the turn to go down by just over 6 lengths.
Paul Harvey has been put on this week and will start from a favourable barrier, 7. Transaction will be hardest to bear after a strong win last time out at Ascot whilst Henry The Pharoah and Follow The Road will be tough opposition first up in their campaigns.
