Maxandus brings the strongest form credentials with placings in 2 of 3 starts at this distance. Though first-up from a spell, he's shown ability on both good and heavy tracks. The Aaron Bullock/Melissa Dennett combination is strong, and despite the wide barrier, he should be able to use his early speed to overcome it. The fast tempo should suit his racing pattern.
By Linda draws the coveted inside barrier which should be advantageous at Scone. Ben Looker is a positive jockey booking, and the tongue tie gear change could help improve her breathing. The fast tempo should allow her to settle and finish strongly.
The addition of blinkers first time could spark significant improvement, and as a 3yo filly, she has more scope for development than some of her older rivals.
She has a track record that includes a placing, and has placed twice from five attempts at this distance. With only 12 days since her last run, she should be at peak fitness. The fast tempo should suit her running style, and Leeshelle Small knows the horse well.

Chestime brings solid credentials with a consistent overall record and good performances on this track type. Her 3rd placing two starts back at Muswellbrook was excellent, and she gets the services of top jockey Aaron Bullock from an ideal barrier 2 draw. Expect her to settle midfield and finish strongly.
Insain Jewel is a lightly-raced filly with potential upside. Her maiden win on a Soft track showed ability, though her two subsequent runs have been below expectations. The barrier draw helps her cause, and she gets weight relief with Braith Nock aboard.
Supairo brings the strongest and most consistent form to this race, finishing within 3 lengths of the winner in 6 of his last 7 starts. His last start 2nd at Nowra carrying 61kg was excellent, and he's proven he can handle the weight. With tactical speed from barrier 6, he should get an ideal run on speed and has the class to overcome the fast tempo predicted.
She's won 3 of her last 6 starts, showing ability when things go her way. The inside barrier is perfect on a track that favors inside gates, and she gets in with a manageable 57.5kg.

With the perfect inside draw, weight advantage, and natural improvement expected, she looks well-placed to handle the step up to 1600m and this slightly stronger grade.
Set To Prophet brings solid credentials as a proven miler (10:2-1-2) who's dropping in class from stronger races. His last start 2nd at Inverell suggests he's in good form, and his overall record of 45:4-8-5 demonstrates consistency.
Best Of Maher brings solid credentials with a good mile record (6:1-1-1) and two recent wins in his form. The good barrier draw (3) should allow him to take up a forward position in the expected strong tempo.
His mile record (12:1-2-0) is solid, and the expected strong tempo should suit his racing pattern.

| 11th | 11 | Candy Kiss | 7 | Jenny Duggan | Luke A Thomas | 55kg | $151.00 |
Perfectly suited by the Good track and has drawn ideally in barrier 4 with Reece Jones retaining the ride. The step up to Class 1 is the main query, but she showed enough talent on debut to suggest she can handle it.
First-up specialist who won his only previous fresh run. Perfectly drawn in barrier 1 to utilize his early speed and should be able to lead or sit prominently in the run. Has a perfect record on Good tracks and drops 1kg from his last start. The class rise is a query, but his tactical speed gives him a strong chance.
Consistent mare with strong place statistics (1-3-5 from 16 starts) who has performed well at this distance (1-2-1 from 7 starts). Well-drawn in barrier 5 with a light weight, though she may prefer more give in the ground than today's Good 4 surface.
Lightly-raced mare resuming from a spell with the addition of winkers for the first time. Has only had 3 career starts for 1 win and showed ability when winning second-up previously. The class rise is significant, but she's still open to improvement and has a strong jockey booking in Ben Looker.

Drawn perfectly in barrier 5 with top jockey Aaron Bullock aboard, he should get an ideal run in the likely fast-tempo race. From the Kris Lees stable and with natural improvement second-up, he stands out as the most likely winner.
Smashing Nova returns from a spell with some promising form indicators. From the Kris Lees stable, he placed third on debut and has been freshened since a midfield finish in June. Drawn ideally in barrier 4 to secure a good position in midfield, he should be finishing strongly. The class drop is significant and William Stanley is a positive jockey booking.
Ocean Tsunami is an interesting first-starter from the Scott Singleton stable. Despite the wide barrier, the likely fast tempo should allow Ocean Tsunami to find a position and finish strongly.
Drawn perfectly in barrier 3 with a light weight of 54kg, she should get an ideal run. While she's yet to place in 6 starts, her recent form suggests a breakthrough performance is near.

Drawing barrier 3 is ideal for her forward running style, and she should get a perfect run in transit. The main danger is the class rise, but her raw ability compensates.
The light weight of 55kg is a significant advantage, and her quick backup suggests she's at peak fitness. While the class rise is a concern, her current form suggests she can handle it.
Trapeze Legend brings an impressive 33% win rate and strong Scone track record to this race. The significant class rise is a concern, as is the wide barrier 11, but his natural ability and affinity for this track make him a genuine contender.
He's a proven performer at Scone with 2 wins from 10 starts at the track.
