The Valley

By Ben Caluzzi She’s only had two starts for two impressive victories, but already the Anthony & Sam Freedman trained Snapped will be thrown into the deep end this Friday night when she contests black type for the first time in the Group 3 Spendthrift Australia Typhoon Tracy Stakes. A dominant winner of a Pakenham maiden before again saluting in style in the Cool Ridge Handicap at The Valley, she has bolted in with her two career starts by a combined margin of 6.3 lengths and comes into Friday night’s race as one of the key chances despite the sizeable jump in class. A filly by Not a Single Doubt who impressed at the trials, Sam Freedman admits they did have high hopes for her even before her debut run – but already seeing that translate to race day has been satisfying for the Mornington based trainer. “We knew she was probably Saturday class off her trials,” Freedman said. “You can only get so much of a guide off trackwork and trials, but we’d seen enough of her to say she was definitely up to Saturday city class. “Once you start getting into that Stakes grade it’s always hard to predict, but off her maiden win all of our eyes probably went to trying to find the right Stakes race for her.” SNAPPED, CRACKLE AND POP TIME FOR FAST FREEDMAN FILLY
