Scone Race 4 - Emirates Park Country Boosted Mdn Plate
DR HOOK (7) resumes as the horse to beat after contesting stakes races last time in. Closed his last campaign with two seconds, including a placing here as the favorite, losing by a length and a half to Cormier after giving his weight. Trained locally and should be able to put these away. TENNESSEE RIVER (12) poses a clear threat after a determined first-up second here, where she jumped awkwardly, raced wide, yet was only a length and a half behind. Her fourth in the Listed Woodlands Stakes offers the best feature reference in the field. Maps well. GIDGEA TREE (2) is on debut for the Mack Griffith yard and draws well with Aaron Bullock aboard. Finished a close second in a Muswellbrook trial over 800m. Forward showing expected. BUNGAN BOUNCER (6) returns after a promising debut fifth at Muswellbrook, where he was unfancied in the market but only beaten two and a half lengths. Looks ready to go with the two trials under the belt and the lugging bit goes on.

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a plain tenth at Tuncurry over 1605m on heavy ground, beaten seven and a half lengths at long odds after giving little late. The Quirindi run prior was also well held, sixth and beaten over 10 lengths by Rock Emperor. Must show far more.

Makes his debut from barrier 1 with Aaron Bullock, the top-ranked jockey for wins at this track, taking the ride. The latest trial was a close second at Muswellbrook, which gives him a solid grounding for a 900m Mdn. Genuine winning chance.

Back on the one-week turnaround after finishing eighth at Muswellbrook, beaten nine and a half lengths by Modernist when unwanted in the market and keen early. He had been sixth to Pure Motive there the run prior after beginning awkwardly and racing wide throughout. Long maiden record remains the major hurdle.

Had a genuine excuse when fifth to Pure Motive at Muswellbrook, racing wide throughout yet still finishing within five lengths. The Tamworth run prior was poor, beaten over 15 lengths by Bradford at long odds, so trust is not complete. Place hope if that gear change sharpens him.

Resumes after five months off following a sound fifth at Tamworth, beaten just over two lengths by Splash Of Steel over 1400m on soft ground. He had placed at Dubbo before that, though the margin was just over six lengths after covering ground from the 700m. Thereabouts last time in and no shock to see him take a hand in the finish.

Back from a four-month break after a debut fifth at Muswellbrook, where he jumped awkwardly, led and boxed on to be beaten two and a half lengths despite being unwanted in the market. He has had two trials since last raced, so the stable has given him a base for this return. Has a practical place profile.

Returns from a lengthy six-month spell after closing last campaign with consecutive seconds, the latest at this track when sent out favourite and beaten a length and a half by Cormier after being run down late. His prior second came in a CG Open at Muswellbrook as odds-on favourite. Stable and track profile make him the one to beat.

Makes her debut with limited public evidence, and the sole trial was some time back rather than a recent pointer. The Carlos Antonio stable has no supplied debut win or placing from two starts, so there is little statistical push. Hard to get excited about after the average trial.

Second-up after a plain Coonabarabran return, finishing seventh and beaten nine and a half lengths by Mia Amore after travelling close enough and offering little. Her previous campaign ended with a narrow Nyngan second as a well-supported favourite, and she has placed once from three starts around 900m. Earlier Nyngan placing gives some hope, but she must rebound sharply.

Resumes after three months off with a recent Muswellbrook trial behind her, which is useful after a debut that offered little. She was last of nine at this track on soft ground, beaten over 14 lengths by Alphabet after racing keenly early and making no impression late. Resumes with a host of gear changes, keep safe.

Put in a strong first-up effort at this track when second to The Wildling as odds-on favourite, beaten a length and a half despite jumping awkwardly and racing wide throughout. Her debut fourth in the Listed Woodlands Stakes reads well for a country Mdn, with solid late ground made from back in the field. Listed debut form gives her a serious winning profile.
