Scone (NSW) – Good 4
R1 – Darley Maiden Plate (1400m)
Analysis
REDFORD RIVER (3) maps for the perfect run and his Muswellbrook placing this prep reads well. SPICY SURPRISE (6) has been consistent this campaign and didn’t have much go right here last start. TAKETHEMONEYANDRUN (4) is holding his form and backs up quickly, which may suit. ALL KIRKED UP (8) gets blinkers for the first time and can improve sharply.

R2 – Coolmore Country Boosted Maiden Plate (1000m)
Analysis
MAXANDUS (1) resumes after a lengthy spell and his previous run when favoured suggests he has the class to win. STORM CAPITAL (2) strips fitter for a fair resuming effort and can improve second-up.

R4 – TAB Benchmark 58 Handicap (1600m)
Analysis
