The winning form of Randwick trainer Peter Snowden is poised to continue at Hawkesbury on Tuesday when he sends around two leading contenders at the meeting.
Snowden, who has been enjoying a steady stream of success of late, will have Zing To Me ($3.10 on TAB) in the Blakes Marine Maiden Handicap (1100m) with Tom Sherry to ride, while the in-form Inoue ($2.15 favourite) contests the Elite Sand & Soil Benchmark 64 Handicap (1100m) with Mitchell Bell in the saddle.
“Zing To Me is resuming from a spell and she ran second at Hawkesbury back in August of last year at her only start,” said Snowden.

“She’s had a trial earlier this month leading into this first-up run and she won that well on a heavy track.
"She’s well bred being by Capitalist and out of Zingaling and she is ready to run well fresh.”
Snowden has given Inoue two runs back from a spell and the son of Shalaa and The Darling One has won each of them at Gosford and Kembla Grange.
“He ran well in his trial before resuming and doing the job well to win at Gosford on ANZAC Day,” Snowden said.
“And he followed that up with another good win at Kembla Grange. Mitchell Bell has been on in both of those wins, and he sticks at Hawkesbury.
"He’s drawn well in barrier three and can make it three in a row if he can get things to go his way again.”
Hawkesbury trainer Brad Widdup will also have just the two runners going around at his home track on Tuesday when he has Diamond Show ($2.50 fav) and Reverberates ($5) running in the race he sponsors, the Brad Widdup Racing Provincial Maiden Plate (1600m).
Kerrin McEvoy will steer Diamond Show, while Zac Wadick will be aboard Reverberates.
“Diamond Show has only had the five starts but she has returned from a spell in good order with a sound fifth on the Kensington Track when resuming and then a second at Kembla Grange last time out,” Widdup said.
“Reverberates ran in the same race Diamond Show did last time out and she’s heading in the right direction as well.”
