Coolmore Country Boosted (Bm66)
Well-weighted and drawn favorably, this gelding has proven soft track ability. While stepping up in class, his performances suggest he's ready for the challenge. The 158-day break is offset by his impressive first-up record.

The quick backup is a positive, but the wide barrier and less convincing soft track form are concerns. Still, his consistency and class make him a strong contender.
Nation Changing is an intriguing prospect with an unbeaten record and strong soft track form. Well-weighted and drawn favorably, this gelding shows promise. However, he faces a significant class rise and comes off a lengthy break. His limited race experience adds uncertainty, but his potential makes him a worthy consideration.
While facing a class rise, her consistent form and soft track ability are positives. Drawn well, she has potential for improvement.

Darley (Bm66)
Peninsula is a lightly-raced gelding on the up, with two impressive wins from two starts this preparation. He's proven on soft going and appears well-weighted for this class rise. The inside draw should allow him to settle prominently, which is advantageous at Scone. While untested at 1300m, his racing pattern suggests it should suit.
Spandex is a progressive 4YO who has won his last two starts, including a strong victory over 1600m last time out. He's proven on soft tracks and appears well-weighted for this race. The drop back to 1300m is a query, but his tactical speed should allow him to settle in a prominent position. His consistent form and upward trajectory make him a strong contender.
Ilovenews comes off a strong win at this track over 1400m and has been racing consistently this preparation. He's a proven performer at Scone with a win and a placing from two starts. The soft track shouldn't pose any issues, having won on similar going previously. The wide barrier is a concern, but his tactical speed should allow him to overcome it.
Deebo comes into this race off a strong last-start win and has been racing consistently. He's proven on soft tracks and has a good record at the distance. The wide barrier is a concern, but he has the tactical speed to overcome it.
