Scone Race 1 - Kia Ora Plate (C1)
TASMAN DEEL (3) is the horse to beat after breaking through at this track with real authority, scoring by just under five lengths as odds-on favourite and putting the race away quickly. He has now missed a place only once in five starts, is already proven at this track and distance, and has the winning rider back aboard. QUIRKY PRINCESS (5) has to turn the tables on TASMAN DEEL from their recent meeting at this venue, but she had some excuses after beginning awkwardly and being tightened, and her Tamworth win over Minister Garrett two back keeps her firmly in the race. MY GREEK GOD (2) returns from a five-week freshening after two BM64 fifths in stronger provincial company, with first-time blinkers adding interest and enough consistency to be a genuine place threat. MISSION STRIKE (7) was well beaten first-up at Muswellbrook, though he had a messy run and comes here second-up with time-rating support, while the 2200m remains the key question for him.

Backs up quickly after finishing fifth in a BM50 at Tamworth, beaten just over eight lengths on soft ground, and now faces harder company than that picnic meeting. He was also last in a BM45 at Wauchope two runs ago after being near the top of betting, so the recent form is plain. Outclassed.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fifth in a BM64 at Illawarra Grange, beaten three and a half lengths after beginning awkwardly and being bumped. He had also finished close up in a BM64 at Newcastle when racing tight late, so the provincial form reads respectably for this. Shapes as a genuine place hope.

Put them away decisively at this track last start, winning by just under five lengths as the odds-on favourite and beating Bastianini after moving into the race strongly. That followed a sound third at Tamworth on soft ground when among the outsiders, so the progression is clear. Brings the clearest winning profile, should go on with it now.

Was slow to begin when eighth at Muswellbrook last start, beaten five lengths over 1750m at generous odds. The run prior had more merit, finishing third at the same venue after being tightened near the 300m, but she now tries 2200m for the first time. Deserves another chance.

Had excuses when fourth behind Tasman Deel at this track last start, beginning awkwardly and being tightened before finishing six and a half lengths away as one of the better fancied runners. Two back she was dominant at Tamworth, beating Minister Garrett by three lengths as short odds-on favourite. Her Tamworth win was strong and barrier one keeps her right in this.

Finished ninth at Dubbo last start, beaten just over seven lengths after being slow to begin and starting at generous odds. His previous fourth at Dubbo was better on paper, but he again began slowly and did not quicken when close enough. Others bring stronger claims.

Resumed with a fifth in a Mdn at Muswellbrook, beaten just over nine lengths after being bumped, covering ground and hanging in through the straight. He is still a maiden after 11 starts, which keeps the winning case in check, but he is second-up and rated well enough on time to be considered for exotics. Fitter now from the low draw.

Was only fair at Dubbo last start when eighth, beaten just over six lengths after being near the top of an open market. Her Orange third two back in a Mdn was much more encouraging, picking up well and missing by just under a length. Assess on the good run two back.
