Race-by-race preview and tips for Scone on Tuesday
Selections based on soft track; rail out 3m from 800m to post and true the remainder.
Competitive opener over the mile. Lightly raced metro three-year-old 4. Satirical Glory did his best work late in a deeper provincial race first-up off a six-month spell. Draws to get a soft run back in the field with subtle gear changes. Should relish the long run home here being bred to get over further.

Dangers: Emerging local four-year-old 1. Andorra La Vella is fifth up in his first prep and has kept improving as the distances have risen. Draws to get a plumb run on speed. Progressive provincial mare 2. Decadent Tale has been close-up in three runs to start her career. Can peak getting up to this trip and was preferred here to Port Macquarie on Monday in a race she was a big chance in. Keep safe improving colt 3. The Dance, who is also looking for this journey second up off a seven-week break.
How to play it: Satirical Glory to win and box trifecta 1,2,4; Odds and Evens: Split
Exciting four-year-old 3. Freckle Rock rates a good thing after taking care of a similar field at Muswellbrook resuming off a nine-month absence. Has a tonne of progression and will be aimed at much bigger races.
Dangers: Provincial five-year-old 2. Underboss didn’t measure up third up at Taree after stalking the speed but previous form was sound and gets weight relief from a handy draw. Big gap to the rest headed by four-year-old 4. Four Egos, who has drawn the inside and was right behind Underboss in that same race deep into his prep.
How to play it: Quinella 2 and 3 and trifecta (in order) 3-2-4; Odds and Evens: Split a special
Not much depth in this, which augurs well for northern hemisphere-bred Shalaa three-year-old 9. Montari, who is trained on the track and debuts off a couple of sharp trials up to 1000m.
Dangers: Progressive filly 12. She’s Contrary is knocking on the door after being narrowly beaten here a fortnight ago. 7. Tucson Valley can improve sharply at her second start; Exosphere mare 6. Sharkosphere has drawn well for her debut behind two mixed trials; and Shamus Award four-year-old 1. Dramatist who has also trialled OK.
How to play it: Montari to win; Odds and Evens: Split
Out to the staying trip for a moderate and open battle. Provincial mare 6. Endorphins has had more bad luck in one prep than most endure in a year. Should have won her last two at Taree when held up and losing her spot before finishing hard and again draws to get a handy trail just off the speed.
Dangers: Metro mare 11. Essential Sky was beaten a long way in a tougher race at Newcastle and would need to improve sharply fourth-up, although draws to get a better run. Local mare 8. Southern Cloud and five-year-old 2. Rusty Hawk both go in wider exotics at bigger prices.
How to play it: Endorphins to win; Odds and Evens: Split
Tamworth four-year-old 3. Sole Heir has far more ability than his modest record suggests. Swept home to miss narrowly second-up at home as a heavily backed favourite and looks well-placed after a 3kg claim on a track that’s right up his alley.
Dangers: Smart five-year-old 2. Chasing Comets hit a career high here three runs back exploding home to beat a weaker field by nearly six lengths. Has continued to attack the line in his next two and, from a soft draw, will again be charging home. Promising four-year-old mare 7. Daralina Belle can keep her unbeaten record intact at her third start. Has motored home from well back twice, although this is a decent step up in grade. Improving five-year-old 5. Dollareuro worked home well enough second-up and another who should improve further on the bigger track.
How to play it: Sole Heir each way and box exacta 2,3,7; Odds and Evens: Split
Two runners from very different form lines can gap the rest. Exciting four-year-old 2. Street Power resumes off a dominant trial win with a pivotal 3kg claim. Comes to hand quickly and blinkers have been added.
Dangers: Progressive metro mare 9. Salute To The Sun charged home from a mile back to win a strong class 1 first-up at Nowra, and that form has been heavily franked with second-placed Jerry winning Saturday’s Highway at Randwick despite sitting wide for much of the trip. Keep safe five-year-old mare 5. Dancing Dollar, who drops down from a deeper Highway second-up.
How to play it: Street Power to win and quinella 2 and 9; Odds and Evens: Split
Plenty of chances in the closer. Keen on consistent Tamworth mare 11. Satin Ruby, who resumes without publicly trialling but boasts a smart fresh record. Will settle back with plenty of cover from the inside draw and be strong late.
Dangers: Local six-year-old 7. Joey’s Chance picked up where he left off last prep, hitting the line here a fortnight back. Drawn to get a nice trail. The betting will prove a crucial guide for 1. My Benalla, who resumes off a long break but has looked sharp in two trials. Wears front bandages. Home track mare 9. Bit Of A Beauty is always competitive around this distance. Has tactical speed and blinkers are back on.
How to play it: Satin Ruby each way and box trifecta 1,7,9,11; Odds and Evens: Odds a special
BEST BETS: Race 1 (4) SATIRICAL GLORY; Race 6 (2) STREET POWER
