Scone tips and results

Fined For Speeding is the value play in a thin maiden. He has a solid heavy-track run at Narromine (4th in a CL1) and consistent recent form including a 2nd at Warren. He's been placed multiple times and is overdue.

Our price $12.00 · SP $21.00 · Anna Weatherlake

Stormy Malice is a 18-start maiden with four placings, the latest a close 2nd at Corowa before a 351-day break. She returns with only 52kg and a first-up placing on her resume. The Heavy 8 may test her but she has placed on Soft. The gear change (blinkers off) is a slight negative, but the light weight and class relief make her an attractive roughie.

Our price $3.50 · SP $4.00 · Winona Costin

He ran second over this track and distance on soft in June, then second at Newcastle on heavy. Drawn wide but has early speed to cross and find a forward spot. The fast tempo suits his finish.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.50 · Izzy Neale

Angie's Sister is a proven wet tracker with a win on Heavy 9 and a third on Heavy 8. She gets a nice light weight and draws the inside, though barrier 1 can be tricky at 900m. Second-up she placed before.

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.00 · Shannen Llewellyn

Close To Midnight drops to Class 1 after racing in BM62/70 company, a clear class advantage. He's first-up but has a win from three fresh runs. However, he has never raced on heavy ground and carries 62kg – a tough ask on a wet track.

Our price $10.00 · SP $16.00 · Mikayla Weir

She's first-up but that win came fresh.

Our price $12.00 · SP $10.00 · Christian Reith

That run rates well for this grade. He should be fitter second-up and from barrier 3 can take a handy position.

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.50 · Izzy Neale

Ocean Tsunami has been ultra-consistent, finishing second in two straight BM58 1700m races at Scone, including behind Maples last time. Her form is solid, she maps well from barrier 5, and Izzy Neale is riding well. The only query is heavy track (0 from 1), but she has placed on soft. She looks the most reliable winning chance despite the wet ground query.

Our price $8.00 · SP $26.00 · Gabrielle Johnston

The Great Armada is a heavy track specialist with two wins from four starts on the surface. He can lead this race and control the tempo, which is advantageous on a heavy Scone track that favours on-pacers. He won impressively two starts back at Cobar over 1700m and followed with a solid third.

Our price $12.00 · SP $13.00 · Madeline Owen

Caledonian ran an excellent third in this same race last start on Soft7, beaten less than a length. He has placed in heavy conditions before and carries only 58.5kg. The wide barrier is a concern, but he has the form and wet-track ability to feature again.

Our price $10.00 · SP $31.00 · Donovan Dillon

Yorikiri is a heavy track specialist with three wins from 14 starts on the surface, the best in the race. He drops in class after running in BM66 and Open company and can bounce back after a poor run last time. The class drop and wet track are major positives.

Our price $10.00 · SP $8.00 · Leanne Boyd

Live To Rise comes off a strong 3rd at Tamworth in BM82 company and drops sharply in class for this Class 3. She races on-pace, which is favoured at Scone, and carries just 55.5kg after the apprentice claim. The lack of heavy-track experience is a concern, but her soft-track form (1 win, 1 place from 5 starts) suggests she'll handle it.

Our price $8.00 · SP $17.00 · Mitchell Bell

Capsity is the value overlay. Second up from a spell with Mitchell Bell aboard (24% with the stable), she should improve sharply from her first-up 6th. The class rise is a concern, but her win at Scone last preparation shows she can handle the track.

Our price $8.00 · SP $8.00 · Jacob Stiff

Talkachino comes off two excellent heavy track runs at Dubbo, winning on Heavy 9 then placing on Heavy 8. He has two wins from seven starts at 1400m and the Jacob Stiff/Mulholland combination is in good form.

Our price $6.00 · SP $12.00 · Mikayla Weir

Oakfield Missouri has done everything right at Scone, winning a maiden then running second in a similar Class 1. The step to 1300m on heavy is a query but his tactical speed should keep him in the race. Represents solid each-way value.
