Re: Exeter 14/04/09 3.40 Shannon Spriggs 6/1 lad 7.5 pts e.w Quite a decent looking race this one but one I like who is proven in these conditions is Shannon Spriggs. This is a horse who has always run better when granted quicker ground which he has today. Its a horse who clearly has had some problems as he was off for a year. I remember it being so unlucky two years back off the same mark as today when the saddle slipped and he was all over the winner to be second that day. After that it had a while off but bounced back with a good effort behind character building before a couple of disappointing efforts when without favoured conditions. However lto he ran a really solid race to be third and only a length of the winner in a similar race to this, up four pounds for that but solid enough claims today.
