Snip Esprit Bounces Back 
The Spencer Knight prepared Snip Esprit bounced back to the winners stall at Ascot on Saturday taking out the Winning Edge Trophy over 1000m, following his disappointing effort in the Listed Bunbury Stakes on March 12.
The son of Bel Esprit was able to settle in a lovely position trailing the speed for Jason Brown and once he was pulled into the clear for his run at the top of the straight, he over powered his rivals, recording his fifth win to date.
Snip Esprit is a four-year-old gelding, who was purchased from Adelaide mid way through his career after Knight trained his younger brother Babieca Noire to victory as a two-year-old.
Race favourite Elliotto settled behind the speed throughout for Brad Parnham, but when the run appeared at the top of the lane he wanted to turn his head side ways and didn’t look to comfortable inside of other runners.
What they said – “That was a lovely win today. We are still unsure as to why he went so bad in the Bunbury Stakes, he has been at vets and nothing seems wrong with him. He began well and put himself into a nice position.” Winning trainer Spencer Knight said following the win.

1. 11/04/09 Snip Esprit lights up Ascot with sparkling sprint win
Snip Esprit bounced back to form today with a brilliant win over Bull Durham and race favourite Elliotto. Jason Brown rode the horse beautifully, slotting into a one out one back position after jumping better than usual. With only a moderate tempo set in front by Bull Durham it was always going to take an exceptional sprint to get over the top of the first three and on cornering it looked as though Willie Arnold had rated the perfect race but Snip porduced the sprint that has done and will continue to win him alot of races and he over-ran the leading group. The drop back to 1000m after his mystery run in the Bunbury Stakes (1400m) wasn't ideal but he had won previously over 1050m in South Australia. That run today now takes his career record to 17 starts, 5 wins and 6 placings with earnings of over $150 000.
2. 09/04/09 Snip Esprit in on Saturday
Snip Esprit will have his first start on Saturday since his ulnucky run in the Bunbury Stakes. He tramped three and four deep in the listed race and faded to finish second last. Jason Brown will again ride from barrier 6 over the 1000m journey. Elliotto looks hardest to beat from gate 1.
