Peter Snowden will send a small but select team to Kembla Grange on Tuesday with four runners spread across three races.
The Randwick-based trainer will start unraced two-year-olds Beadman and Akaysha in The Race Against Suicide Raceday June 21st 2YO Maiden Plate (1000m), while recent stable recruit Manwe contests the Jim’s Mowing Class 1 Handicap (1000m), and California Sunrise is in the Jim’s Mowing F&M Benchmark 64 Handicap (1400m).

Zac Lloyd will partner Snitzel colt Beadman in its event while Tom Sherry will be aboard Capitalist filly Akaysha in the same race.
“They are both nice two-year-olds,” said Snowden.
“Akaysha has had four trials in total and finished second in both of the most recent of them, and Beadman has only had the two trials, and he’s run second and first in each of them.
“Beadman has an awkward draw but he’s capable of overcoming that and Akaysha has drawn the middle of the field and should get her chance from there.”
Chad Schofield will take the ride on Manwe in its event, with the former Anthony Cummings trained four-year-old having his first start for the stable.
“He’s only had the eight starts and is a winner and placegetter,” Snowden said.
“He was placed in city grade at Canterbury at the start of his last preparation, and he wasn’t beaten too far when fifth at Warwick Farm before being spelled. He had a trial in January and is nice and fresh for Tuesday.”
