Scone tips and results

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.80 · Kerrin Mc Evoy

Viewpoint is a progressive 3yo with strong upside and elite connections (McEvoy/Dilmi). However the class rise is meaningful and the wide barrier with a midfield-back settling pattern works against the Scone on-pace bias.

Our price $8.00 · SP $9.50 · Andrew Calder

She has previously won a BM72/1600m at Randwick which is a strong form reference.

Our price $6.00 · SP $11.00 · Regan Bayliss

Visors return - a gear change that has previously coincided with strong runs.

Our price $7.00 · SP $12.00 · Ashley Morgan

Last-start 2nd in stronger Bench 68 company reads well dropping back. The Morgan/Messara combo strikes at 28%.

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.40 · Rachel King

The Waterhouse/Bott stable rarely produce 2YOs this forward without serious ability, and Rachel King's engagement signals confidence. The wide draw is the only real concern, but with genuine tempo expected and her ability to settle handy/midfield, she should get into the race well. Class rise to Listed is the question, but trial and debut form suggest she handles it.

Our price $6.00 · SP $7.00 · Kerrin Mc Evoy

La Gitana brings the strongest black-type form lines into this race, having finished 2nd in a Listed at Flemington and 3rd in a Group 3 at Caulfield. The concern is she's first-up after 77 days with only a placing fresh previously, but the Hayes stable and McEvoy booking suggests they expect a strong showing. Maps to lead or sit handy which is the winning profile at Scone.

Our price $8.00 · SP $12.00 · Braith Nock

The inside barrier is a major positive at Scone where inside draws hold a moderate edge, and she maps as the leader. Against her is the very fast tempo prediction and her wins have come on Soft tracks. Place chance more secure than win.

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.00 · Ashley Morgan

Barrier 5 gives him a perfect on-pace setup at Scone, which heavily favours runners in the first six at the 400m. Trainer Doyle excels with these progressive types, and the jockey/trainer combo strikes at 14%. Class rise is the only concern, but the trajectory and map make him the most likely winner.

Our price $3.50 · SP $3.50 · Siena Grima

The Waller stable's second-up record and class trajectory are excellent. Grima rides at 57kg with claim, perfect set-up. He maps to settle midfield with cover and produce his trademark turn-of-foot.

Our price $9.00 · SP $13.00 · Sam Clipperton

Sounds Unusual is a thoroughly reliable Bench 78 type who has placed in Bench 88 grade and ran 2nd last start in similar company. Barrier 4 gives him the chance to settle handy which suits Scone's bias. Top weight is a concern but his class is above most rivals.

Our price $10.00 · SP $13.00 · Mollie Fitzgerald

The light 54.5kg weight is a huge advantage at 1700m and the in-form Archibald stable has her at peak fitness with only 14-day backup. She finishes off strongly which suits a fast tempo race profile. Underpriced relative to her form trajectory.

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.10 · Jason Collett

Barrier 2 is gold at Scone where position at the 400m is critical, and Jason Collett rides for an in-form Pfieffer stable. Maps to settle 2nd-3rd on the rail and sprint home. Genuine win chance.

Our price $8.50 · SP $20.00 · Ashley Morgan

Winner of 6 of her last 7 including a BM82 at Muswellbrook and Open at Muswellbrook last start. Ashley Morgan retains the ride at 33% combo strike rate. Barrier 6 is ideal at position-sensitive Scone.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.00 · Chad Schofield

Akaysha is the most credentialled black-type filly in the field, with consistent Listed-level form including a Listed win last start and multiple Group/Listed placings. Returns to the very race where she placed 3rd last year, now better seasoned. Barrier 14 and 59kg are negatives but class edge and Snowden/Schofield combination justify favouritism status on form.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.40 · Zac Lloyd

Maps as a likely leader/on-pacer which is the most advantageous position at Scone. Blinkers first time is a meaningful gear change for Tom Charlton.

Our price $11.00 · SP $19.00 · Andrew Adkins

Scone's inside-barrier bias and her ability to secure a forward position from gate 1 makes her a serious value play.

Our price $5.50 · SP $9.00 · Regan Bayliss

The Instructor is a proven Listed-grade performer who won this very race 12 months ago. First-up profile (2-1-1 from 5) is solid and the horse maps to settle in the first half. Form lines through Group company easily measure up to this Listed sprint.

Our price $7.00 · SP $13.00 · Kerrin Mc Evoy

McEvoy retains the ride which is a positive signal.

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.45 · Rachel King

Surfin' Bird is the standout form runner with an outstanding 57% win rate and a fresh second to Bjorn Baker's stablemate-quality field at Hawkesbury G3 last start. Drawn perfectly in barrier 2 at a position-sensitive Scone circuit, she can settle handy and use her proven turn of foot. Rachel King aboard adds confidence.

Our price $7.00 · SP $9.00 · Jason Collett

Second-up should bring improvement, and the Jason Collett booking, who is 2-from-2 aboard, is a confidence signal. Class rise is the concern but her best form measures up.

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.50 · Kerrin Mc Evoy

Captain Furai is the most reliable form proposition in the race. Three wins from his last four with the latest a dominant Bench100 success at Randwick under McEvoy. He's perfect at 1300m (2 from 2), drops to a featherweight 53kg, and the Waller stable continues to place him perfectly. While he steps up in grade, his class trajectory is sharp and the weight pull versus Estadio Mestalla and Linebacker is enormous. Maps to settle handy which suits the Scone 400m-pivot bias.

Our price $9.00 · SP $18.00 · Tom Sherry

Zou Sensation gets the gun barrier in a big field which transforms his chances. He's a proven Listed/Group winner now dropping in grade, and from gate 1 with Sherry (who knows Scone well at 17%) he can secure a perfect on-speed position which the track demands. First-up query exists but the trainer travels him with intent.
