top pick wonanother tip wonno tip won
Lightly raced mare with significant upside who won second-up last preparation after placing first-up. The Messara/Gavranich stable places their horses well, and the booking of Aaron Bullock is significant. Drawn to get a perfect run from barrier 4 and should be ready to fire fresh.
Lightly raced gelding who produced a solid first-up effort when second at Dubbo over 1300m. Second-up today and drawn to get a perfect run from barrier 3. The weight (61kg) is a concern, but his recent form suggests he's ready to produce a peak performance.
Won two starts back at Taree over 1412m and has been racing in consistent form. Gets the inside draw which should allow him to settle midfield and use his strong finishing burst.
Last start winner who drops slightly in class here. Has a solid record on good tracks with 2 wins and 2 placings from 7 starts.

Haze brings the strongest recent form into this race with a last-start win over 1600m at Scone. The moderate tempo should suit his versatile racing style.
Dale brings solid credentials with a strong win rate of 27% and excellent Good track record. While disappointing last start when 8th, his overall form pattern remains consistent. The step up to 2200m is a query but his racing pattern suggests he should handle it. Drawn to get an ideal run from barrier 7.
Sebilla brings proven staying credentials with a last start win over 2100m. Her excellent record at Scone (3-0-2 from 6 starts) is a significant advantage, though she hasn't raced at this track and distance combination. The 35-day freshen-up is a slight concern, but her overall profile suggests she'll be competitive.
With a strong win rate of 30% and recent experience over the 2200m distance, he brings solid credentials to this race. His lightweight of 55kg is advantageous, and he's drawn well in barrier 4.

Speck brings the strongest recent form to this race with a win at Tamworth in similar company. While she hasn't raced at Scone before, her versatile racing style should suit the fair track, and she handles Good 4 surfaces well. Reece Jones retains the ride after recent success.
Joiselle brings a strong first-up record (2 wins from 3 starts) and is the only runner with a win at Scone. Her good record on firm tracks (2 wins from 5 starts) is encouraging for today's conditions. The inside draw should allow her to take up a forward position in the likely fast-tempo race.
Zoe Shark brings consistency with an impressive place record of 54%. While she's carrying top weight and hasn't raced at Scone before, her ability to handle Good tracks (3 wins from 12 starts) is a positive. The 48-day freshen-up could work in her favor.
The inside draw is perfect for Scone's 1000m start, and the first-time tongue tie could spark improvement.

Well-bred filly who showed good ability on debut when finishing 2nd at this track 17 days ago. By champion sire I Am Invincible and from a top stable, she should improve second-up and has drawn to get a perfect run from barrier 9. The expected fast tempo should suit her finishing style, and she looks the clear standout on form.
Consistent filly with two second placings from three career starts. Has been competing in stronger company and drops back to maiden grade here. The wide barrier is a concern, but she has the class to overcome it and should be finishing strongly.
Has been racing in stronger company and drops back to maiden grade. The main concern is her first-up status.
Four-year-old mare who showed promise on debut with a 3rd placing at Port Macquarie. The booking of top jockey Aaron Bullock is significant, and she's drawn well in barrier 3 to utilize early speed. The weight is a concern but her natural ability can overcome it.

Favour The Bold brings the strongest form credentials, having placed at this track and distance on debut. Despite the top weight, he's well-suited under the conditions and should take up a forward position from barrier 10. The Northam-trained gelding has shown ability when fresh (placed first-up previously) and gets the services of Reece Jones again. The very fast tempo should suit his on-pace style.
Haras is an intriguing debutant from the Scott Singleton stable drawing the coveted inside barrier. The addition of pre-race ear muffs and winkers suggests connections are expecting a forward showing. Should get the perfect run from barrier 1.
The McFarlane-trained filly is dropping back in class from her last start and gets the services of the experienced Andrew Gibbons. Represents each-way value.
The Singleton-trained mare has drawn perfectly in barrier 2 and carries just 54kg with Tilly McCarroll aboard. Her recent third placing shows she's finding form, and the 17-day spacing between runs is ideal. The inside draw should allow her to take up a forward position in a race that favors on-pace runners.

Ultra-consistent mare with an excellent place record (1-4-1 from 7 starts). Has finished second in 4 of her last 5 starts including last start at Narromine over this distance. The switch from blinkers to visors could be the key change to help her break through. Handles all track conditions and has Chelsea Hillier aboard who knows her well.
Lightly-raced gelding who broke through for a maiden win two starts back at Tamworth. Followed that with a solid 4th in stronger company at Newcastle. Shae Wilkes retains the ride which is a positive.
Gets in with just 55kg, draws perfectly in barrier 3, and looks ready for the mile. The booking of Alysha Collett is significant, and her progressive profile suggests she has more improvement to come.
Is dropping significantly in class here after racing in stronger company. Won on synthetic at Ballarat over 1500m suggesting the mile should suit.

The favorable barrier 2 draw should allow Alysha Collett to position this runner prominently in the early stages. The Archibald stable appears to have this one ready to perform.
Now second-up from a spell, this 3yo filly should have natural improvement and the step up to 1400m looks suitable based on her finishing effort last start. From barrier 5, Mikayla Weir should be able to position her midfield before making a strong run in a race that should be run at a genuine tempo.
The 3yo gelding has shown consistent improvement across his two career starts, placing 3rd two back. The step up to 1400m looks suitable based on his finishing efforts, and the likely fast tempo should play to his strengths as a midfield runner who can finish strongly.
While yet to break through for a win, the booking of Aaron Bullock is significant, and the likely fast tempo should suit his running style. Has previous experience at Scone which is an advantage.

Where'stheprofit brings the strongest combination of consistency and winning ability to this race. His 43% win rate and 71% place rate demonstrate remarkable reliability, and his recent form (1-2-2) shows he's in peak condition. While rising in class, he's proven adaptable across conditions and should get an ideal run from barrier 4 with the strong tempo likely to suit his racing pattern. Ashley Morgan is a significant jockey booking.
Lightning Speed brings strong credentials despite a poor last start. The advantageous barrier 2 draw should allow her to settle midfield in a race with strong tempo. While facing a class rise, her previous performances suggest she has the ability to measure up, and trainer Cameron Crockett has her ready after 37 days between runs.
Pony Soprano brings a strong record at this distance (5:3-1-0) and will be suited by the advantageous barrier 3 draw. The booking of Aaron Bullock is significant, and his early speed should see him take up a forward position. While recent form is concerning (8th last start) and he's carrying topweight of 61kg, his class edge and proven ability at the trip make him a genuine contender. The likely fast tempo is the main concern for his chances.
The likely fast tempo should suit her racing pattern, allowing her to settle midfield and finish strongly. Jenny Duggan is a positive jockey booking, and the mare appears to be reaching peak fitness at the right time.
