SCONE PREVIEW AND TIPS | EXPERT TIPS | TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 2ND 2025
RAIL: +7m 1100m-400m, +5m Remainder TRACK: Soft 5
Based off recent results here at Scone with the track in similar conditions as todays meeting, it has been advantageous for runners too settle in the first couple of pairs in running forward of midfield. So expect a slight favouring to runners with a positive race map.

Mitch Lewis
LAY: 8. Dreymon (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $8.00)
Taking on long time maiden runner DREYMON in this race. 17 runs with no wins yet and his highest rated runs in the last 12 months have come on heavy tracks so perhaps less suited on better ground here today. But the key factor is his negative race map on a track that has been tough to make up ground of late and he looks likely to settle at the rear of the field.

BACK: 9. Release Point (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $2.40)
RELEASE POINT & DALE appear to be the main 2 chances that will fight this race out, but thinking RELEASE POINT will be better suited on the expected dryer track given DALE has hit his career peaks on heavy tracks. RELEASE POINT is fitter now 3rd up and looks suited rising in trip at his home track given how strongly he hit the line last start.

2. Smart Buy
1. Empress Tsarina
3 Major Lightning
7. On The Quiet
Betting Strategy
Don’t have a lot between last start winning pair SMART BUY & EMPRESS TSARINA. Both runners were winners at this track and they will likely appreciate rising in trip after strong finishes last time. Slight edge SMART BUY who may be better suited on the dryer track. MAJOR LIGHTNING hit a career peak last start to breakthrough for his maiden win, he needs to find that form again quickly off a let up to win here, but is capable if he does. ON THE QUIET maps as the likely race leader and will be fitter 3rd up now, he has won 3rd up previously.
10. Iniesta
6. Autumn King
5. The Warrior
4. Sir Herridah
Betting Strategy
BACK: 10. Iniesta (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $3.00)
INIESTA was well supported when making his debut in a stronger city class maiden recently but was green through the stages of that race and perhaps didn’t handle the heavy track. Given his strong market support last time and the face he should be better for that run and gets a dry track here, he should be an improver
8. Miss Fleetwood
9. Nepo Baby
12. Varuni
6. Anotherbaddecision
Betting Strategy
BACK: 8. Miss Fleetwood (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $3.00)
MISS FLEETWOOD was well supported in a much stronger race on debut but didn’t get a great deal of luck, she recently resumed for a 2nd career prep but clearly didn’t appear to handle the heavy track conditions, expecting she can be an improver here today on a better track and down in grade.
9. Social Circle
7. Quick Sharp
5. Edge Of Midnight
4. Magic Shot
Betting Strategy
SOCIAL CIRCLE impressed when winning on debut by 4L. She has since spelled and could resume here in even stronger form, but not appealing to be betting at the short price. QUICK SHARP looks the main danger to the race favourite, she resumes today and has won fresh previously but also has a good record on her home track. EDGE OF MIDNIGHT could peak in fitness now that he gets to 3rd up into this prep and forgiving MAGIC SHOT for his last start performance, he perhaps didn’t appreciate the wet track and this is a drop in grade.
9. Release Point

9. Where’stheprofit
3. Verbil
11. Girrawheen
10. Fetes Des Meres
Betting Strategy
WHERE’STHEPROFIT was solid when resuming running in for 2nd. He was a winner 2nd up last prep so expecting a level of improvement off that last start. VERBIL resumes and has won 2/2 previous 1st up runs through his career so can fire fresh. GIRRAWHEEN maps to be prominent in the run which could have him improve on his last start. FETES DES MERES is a consistent type having won 3 of her last 6 runs so she wouldn’t surprise in a race like this.
