EXPERT RACING TIPS: SCONE

SCONE PREVIEW AND TIPS | EXPERT TIPS | THURSDAY FEBRUARY 6TH 2025

RAIL: True | TRACK: Good 4

Generally Scone plays very fairly and all runners get their opportunity. Expecting a similar set up here today with the rail in the True position. One thing to monitor is the track conditions, currently rated at a GOOD 4 but warm conditions forecast so there is the potential we see an upgrade of that at some stage. 

Best Bets

Mitch Lewis

BACK: 2. Remlaps Commander (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $3.00)

REMLAPS COMMANDER is coming into this off a long spell, but the form that he was in prior to the spell was very handy and that level would see him hard to beat here. He has had 2 trials here in the lead up to resuming, so not expecting fitness to be a concern and he has previously been good when 1st up (2:1-1-0). His race map set up well also, so he should get a soft enough run here in the front half of the field

Best Bet

 | 

1. Koios
8. Star Venture
2. Cogitare
4. Share The Joy

Betting Strategy

KOIOS certainly looks the runner to beat here in this race. He come out of a city level maiden so expecting he should find this easier. Look for a front running run from him and he may be hard to catch. STAR VENTURE improved nicely last time he was at the races and has had a good trial since then. COGITARE looks the best of the debutants after a recent trial win. SHARE THE JOY at value could again improve after a last start placing. KOIOS looks very hard to beat but not a lot of value backing him at the current short price.

5. Pride To Follow
3. Fuld’s Doubt
1. Lizzie’s Gem
4. Savoca

Betting Strategy

BALMIERRO rises to the 2200m trip here today and that looks as if it could really bring him on now. His only career win has come over this trip so 4th up now and at a suitable distance should suit. STORM PARK is a lightly raced runner jumping in trip here, he maps for good run out of barrier 3 and with a soft run he could be well set up. JACK DUGGAN is dropping in grade from recent runs which could help see him improve and UP AND COMER is a last start winner who looks suited at this trip. It’s a very open staying race now that the favourite has been scratched so prefer no bet into this one.

3. Cheergal
2. Mostro
4. Merchant Gold
5. Monty Be Quick

Betting Strategy

BACK: 3. Cheergal (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $3.00)

CHEERGAL has run well in 2 runs so far this prep and she now gets to the 1600m trip 3rd up and fitter which should suit. This is a slightly easier race than what she contested last time where she had not a lot of luck from a wide barrier, so looks much better suited today here in this set up. Should get every chance.

3. Drums Of War
5. Singing Star
2. Apache Bree
9. Mr Trackside

Betting Strategy

DRUMS OF WAR gets a super race map here and is expected to race on speed and be prominent over the sprint trip, looks well suited in the grade. SINGING STAR is another horse who can race up on speed as well. She comes into this from a freshen up, she did compete at a stronger level to finish her last prep. APACHE BREEZE drops slightly in grade, he will be back in the run and if they go to quick that could set him up perfectly. MR TRACKSIDE wouldn’t surprise at better value down in the weights could suit.

2. Sunshine Law
3. Parkrun
1. Great Brazen
8. Grandini

Betting Strategy

SUNSHINE LAW is quite short in this but will likely be hard to beat as she is dropping in level to find herself in an easier maiden level race than what she has seen of late. She looks hard to beat but not keen to back her at the price. Stablemate PARKRUN chased a talented type last time at Tamworth and wouldn’t be surprised to see him go one better in this off that run. GREAT BRAZEN maps to be prominent in the run up on speed and will have to be from the wide barrier. He was 2nd on debut so has the scope there to go close here. GRANDINI has been consistent to start her career, she should be around the mark but will have to find a career best to jump up to this level.

8. Davikar
1. New Pharoah
2. Inspired Star
4. Cool Space

Betting Strategy

Not a lot of race experience in this race that makes me want to follow those form lines, that points me in the direction of DAVIKAR on debut whose trial form has been super and if she runs up to that she should go close. NEW PHAROAH resumes here, he looks the one with the best exposed form lines but will 1000m be a bit slick for him is the query? INSPIRED STAR is another debutant who has looked very good at trial level. COOL SPACE potentially gets the run of the race up on speed and with a soft lead may take some catching.

8. Rose Water
1. Cosy Corner
2. Southern Charm
4. Ardonaugh

Betting Strategy

Found this probably the trickiest race of the meeting. ROSE WATER is a lightly raced filly resuming for her 2nd career prep now. She won on debut so has shown she can fire fresh and may have upside going forwards. COSY CORNER is dropping in grade here today for this and potentially that could bring him on now at the easier level. SOUTHERN CHARM resumes here today and looks likely to race up on speed, feel that she will get into this race fit and ready to go with the right run she may be tough to catch. ARDONAUGH will also race up on speed and has won 2 of her last 3 so in good form and looks to have a good set up.

2. Remlaps Commander
1. Zouprince
3. Outback Ringer
9. Climate Control

Betting Strategy

BACK: 2. Remlaps Commander (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $3.00)
