Snowden takes winning form to Wyong after Tuesday double
A winning double at Kembla Grange on Tuesday has trainer Peter Snowden poised for more success at Wyong on Thursday.
The Randwick-based horseman prepared Aligned and Rivendell to score at Kemba Grange, and he will attempt to go on with the job when he has Valentiago lining up in the API Engineering Maiden Plate (1600m) and Vision In A Dream in the Reward Homes Super Maiden Plate (1350m).

Tom Sherry will partner Valentiago, while Andrew Adkins takes the ride on Vision In A Dream.
Valentiago is a three-year-old gelding by Dundeel and has finished second in four of his eight starts. Snowden thinks he can run boldly at Wyong.
“He resumed in city grade on the Kensington track and ran into a handy maiden field there, but he ran well second-up when he finished second at Bathurst,” Snowden said. “He was beaten less than a length in that and it was an encouraging effort.
“We took him to Kembla Grange after that and he was midfield, and then he went back to country company at Goulburn and ran another second in what was another sound effort.
“The 1600m should suit at Wyong and I’m confident he’ll run well.”
Vision In A Dream contests her event on the back of a debut fifth behind Kitesurfing at Gosford on February 11.
A three-year-old filly by Lucky Vega, Vision In A Dream had four barrier trials spread over two preparations prior to her first start.
