Snip Spur early in the program can get punters off to a winning start on Newcastle Cup Day.
Snip Spur heads into the One Steel Maiden Plate (1200m) second run from a spell following her strong first up showing.
The Peter and Paul Snowden-trained filly was last seen hitting the line with plenty of gusto on resuming at Canterbury in an 1100m maiden claimed by promising debutant Eyre.
She was caught back and wide and was still hitting the line well after a tough run in transit to claim fourth.
The daughter of Flying Spur will strip fitter for the outing and finds herself contesting an easier assignment at Newcastle on Thursday.
Having settled back in each of her races, Snip Spur should appreciate the roomy Newcastle circuit and its long straight.
In form rider Hugh Bowman stays aboard and along with Peter and Paul Snowden, make a formidable combination.
The filly herself rates well clear of her rivals on both 12 month and 50 day weight adjusted Timeform figures.
Looking at her opposition, there are some promising types however they are yet to produce the same sort of results on the racetrack.
Oxford Art was solid during a two start summer campaign and that has also been the case during two trials in readiness for this.
The Excellent Art mare has blinkers applied again and Tommy Berry in the saddle.
Snow White while underwhelming during her maiden prep has also trialled well prior to resuming.
Snip Spur clearly profiles best in this field though and for that reason, is worth your support in the One Steel Maiden Plate at Newcastle on Thursday.
