From the inside gate and with Aaron Bullock taking the ride, she maps to settle handy in a race lacking genuine pace. The stable is in top form and she represents the clear form line in this maiden. The only query is the step to 1300m, but her breeding suggests she will handle the trip.
Flaunter caught the eye on debut at this track over 1000m, finishing 2nd on Soft 6. She steps up to 1300m which should suit her breeding. Mitchell Bell is a leading provincial rider with a great record here. The wide draw is a concern but she has the tactical speed to cross and find a prominent position.
Nulkaba Star is a consistent maiden who has placed in two of his last five starts, including a 2nd at Gosford on Heavy 8. He has raced at Scone seven times and placed over 1300m here previously. On Soft ground he has placed twice and generally runs his race. He maps to settle midfield and with a solid tempo could be in the finish again.
He drops back to 1300m today, a trip he has placed over before. With a handy barrier and the services of Jake Pracey-Holmes, he can settle on pace.

Charlies has the most compelling formline with a placing on Soft 7 and consistent efforts. Drawn ideally in barrier 2, she should lead or sit handy in a slow tempo race at Scone.
She should improve but faces a tough barrier and may not have the tactical speed to lead. Still a strong chance given the chalky nature of maidens on soft at Scone.
Suasion is a debutant with no form but comes from a powerful stable. The wide barrier is a negative but she may have enough ability to be competitive. A risky but logical top-three contender.
Her trial on Soft 7 was solid, and Bullock takes the ride.

Jade Sunset is the most likely winner based on her strong recent form, including a 3rd placing over 2200m in CL1 company on heavy ground. She draws well, carries a light weight, and has the inform Mitchell Bell aboard.
Pharoah Queen has been knocking on the door with improving runs over middle distances, including a close 3rd in a maiden and a competitive 5th in a CL1 over 2200m. She maps to be in the first six under Reece Jones and represents solid each-way value in a winnable class 1.
Balmierro is a track-and-distance specialist who has won over this 2200m at Scone and now drops in class from BM66.
Legs Power has been racing consistently without winning, rattling off three placings in a row over 2100-2400m on soft and heavy tracks. He maps awkwardly from barrier 11 but has the stamina to finish on.

Ocean Tsunami is the most consistent runner in the race, with 4 minor placings from 6 starts including a strong 2nd at the track/distance last time. She drops to BM58 after racing in higher grades and handles soft ground well. The wide draw is a concern but she has overcome it before. Winkers first time may sharpen her focus. She profiles as the one to beat and holds a clear form edge on her rivals.
Maples made a striking debut winning a maiden at Muswellbrook on soft ground, displaying a good turn of foot. Stepping up to BM58 is a big test, but she has the pedigree and jockey to handle it. Aaron Bullock is clinical with young horses and has a strong association with this stable.
Sweet Justice comes off a confidence-boosting win over 1600m at Scone on Soft 6, beating several of today's rivals. She has a strong soft track record and carries winning form at the venue. However, she steps up to 1700m for the first time and must concede weight to most of the field. If she can repeat her last run and handle the extra trip, she is a legitimate place chance. Her consistency is a concern, but on her day she is competitive.
Moana Gold finally broke through for her maiden win last start at Port Macquarie on soft, building on a series of placings. She draws well (barrier 5) and gets a good weight. The step up to BM58 is a query, but she has the scope to improve and the stable/jockey combination is firing.

Celestial Deal is the well-found debutant from the Waterhouse/Bott stable, drawn ideally in barrier 5. The main danger is the consistent Don't Say Do, but Celestial Deal profiles as the horse to beat.
Don't Say Do is the most consistent runner with four seconds from seven starts, including placings on soft and heavy. She reunites with Reece Jones who is in top form. The wide barrier is a slight concern, but she has the tactical speed to cross and settle handy.
Trapeazy showed promise on debut with a third placing in a Canberra maiden. She returns from a long spell but has trialled well. The wide barrier is a negative on Scone's Soft track, but her light weight and speed may mitigate. She is a chance to improve second-up and could run into the placings if she handles the conditions.
She struggled on soft last start, but second-up improvement is possible. If she finds the form of her debut, she can surprise.

Starverna is the most reliable form runner, having placed in both her Class 1 starts including a close second at Scone. She handles soft ground and drops slightly in weight. While she may need luck from the back in a slow-run race, her consistency and class edge make her the one to beat.
Oakfield Missouri created a strong impression on debut, winning a Scone Maiden on Soft 6 with solid speed. He steps up in class and distance but has the scope to improve. The main concern is inexperience against more seasoned rivals, but his raw talent and Bullock's steer make him a very dangerous threat.
Ring My Bell ran a solid third at Scone last start, sticking on well after leading. She is lightly raced and may have more to offer. The wide draw is a concern but she has early speed to offset it.
Devilish Sun has been a model of consistency since debut, winning a Maiden and placing in three other starts. He handled a slight step up in class when third at Muswellbrook on Soft 7 and maps well from barrier 6. The lack of a genuine win in Class 1 is a concern, but his record suggests he will be in the finish.

Sobek is clearly talented with two wins from two starts, but barrier 10 is a genuine obstacle at Scone on Soft, where inside draws dominate. The step into BM66 company also brings unknown depth. Still a major threat if he can cross and find the front half.
She won a Class 3 on Soft 5 at Taree and has placed well in similar class. The first up run on Heavy can be forgiven, and second up she has a win to her name.
Copperline is the standout form runner with two convincing Scone victories, including a Class 1 over 1100m on Soft 6. Draws ideally in barrier 7 to hold a forward spot, exactly where Scone winners come from.
Sapphire Kiss is a consistent mare hitting form at the right time, with a 2nd and 3rd in her last two starts. Barrier 2 is ideal to get a soft run behind the speed. She lacks the raw talent of the top picks but makes up for it with reliability.
