Reelem In Ruby was narrowly beaten when resuming two weeks ago after drifting back to last in a bunched field but Snowden is leaving the possibility open for a different scenario in the ANZ Bloodstock News Handicap (1300m).
The filly drew seven in the eight-horse field but against that it is a straight run to the turn.
“We could be a little bit closer, Snowden said. “The other day there was a bit of speed but they dropped anchor, that always makes it hard when you give them a start. She does have some gate speed so we wont let her get too far back, keep them in our sights and not make the job so big. It would have been good to draw a bit better but we wont use that as an excuse, if she is good enough she will pick them up.
