Snowden takes winning form to Wyong after Tuesday double
Tuesday’s double victory at Kembla Grange has trainer Peter Snowden set for further success at Wyong on Thursday.
The Randwick-based horseman has lined up Aligned and Rivendell to score at Kemba Grange and will look to continue his work after lining up Valentiago in the API Engineering Maiden Plate (1600m) and Vision In A Dream in the Reward Homes Super Maiden Plate (1350m).

Tom Sherry will partner in Valentiago, while Andrew Adkins will star in Vision In A Dream.
Valentiago is a three-year-old horse from Dundeel and has finished second in four of eight races. Snowden thinks he can make a brave run for Wyong.
“He continued at city level at the Kensington circuit and ran into a serviceable first field there, but was well into second place when he finished second at Bathurst,” said Snowden. “He was beaten by less than a length in this one and it was an encouraging effort.
“After that we took him to Kembla Grange and he was in midfield, then back to the country company at Goulburn and ran a second with another solid effort.
“The 1600 meters should suit Wyong and I am sure he will run well.”
Vision In A Dream will make their fifth appearance at the event following Kitesurfing in Gosford on 11 February.
Lucky Vega’s three-year-old filly Vision In A Dream was subjected to four barrier trials spread over two preparations before her first start.
