Full brothers Sniper's Bullet and Slick Sniper have pleased trainer Tracey Bartley since returning home to NSW from Queensland campaigns which did not go to plan.

Group One winner Sniper's Bullet sent a scare through the Bartley camp with his 29 lengths last in the Stradbroke Handicap at Eagle Farm on June 6.

But the Mudgee-based Bartley said veterinarians had given the 2007 Stradbroke winner the all-clear.

"He was really distressed after the race which is not like him and we were worried about him," Bartley said.

"We had him scoped and did all of the necessary things and there is nothing wrong with him.

"I don't know whether he swallowed his tongue or something.

"We'll just give him some time off and keep an eye on things but he's going well."

Sniper's Bullet's little brother Slick Sniper will be in action at Rosehill on Saturday where he will run in the IGT Pride Of The Turf Handicap (1900m).

Slick Sniper is coming off a fourth to Bareena in the Listed Phil Sullivan Handicap (1600m) at Eagle Farm on June 6, and while his Queensland campaign didn't quite go to script, Bartley says the horse is in top order.

"I would liked to have won a bit more prizemoney with him and had a crack at some nice races but the horse is flying and has done so well since returning," Bartley said.

"He only got beat just over half a length, he got through the ground all right and while I don't think he loves it he can handle it, so a heavy track Saturday is not a problem."

Two starts back, Slick Sniper scored on the Cushion track at Caloundra on May 25.

The Bite The Bullet four-year-old will be ridden by Sydney's leading jockey Hugh Bowman, a good friend of Bartley.

"Hughie came to Bathurst and rode for me about a month ago and I wanted to pay back the favour for coming out there," Bartley said.

"He didn't have to do that eight weeks out from the end of the premiership but he did and I appreciated that."
