Race 4 — Emirates Park Country Boosted Mdn Plate 900m · jumps

Race preview

Scone plays host to the Emirates Park Country Boosted Mdn Plate over the sharp 900m trip on a Good 4 surface with fine weather overhead. Looking at the early win market order, Dr Hook heads betting as the shortest runner, closely followed by Tennessee River, Gidgea Tree, and Toke rounding out the leading fancies in this maiden contest scheduled for 3:44 pm AEDT. The bold play is to weigh up how this short sprint sets up, with speed coming from leaders like Hot Chestnut while backmarkers like the market leader eye their chance from the back of the field over the lightning-fast journey.

The market elect Dr Hook resumes here after a twenty-five-week break, carrying solid earlier form in black-type company that reads well for this assignment despite a poor first-up strike rate historically, while Brett and Georgie Cavanough's runner knows this Scone track well. Meanwhile, Tennessee River sits right behind in the betting order for trainer T S Howlett, having shown genuine promise when placing second over 1000m here on a Soft 5 prior to a sharp barrier trial win at Newcastle over 800m, suggesting the drop in distance to 900m could suit. Gidgea Tree represents another intriguing puzzle on debut from barrier 1 for M D Griffith, backed by an encouraging barrier trial performance at Muswellbrook where Aaron Bullock takes the steer from a soft draw.

Further down the order, Toke maps well at this track and comes off a solid effort where it ran on hard last start at Tamworth over 1400m, though resuming after nineteen weeks might mean it will need the run over this much shorter sprint. The value sits with runners who can handle the sudden shift in tempo over 900m, and while the market has found its preferred elect, the race shapes as an open affair where early positioning will prove crucial across the Scone straight.

Has struggled, despite plenty of racing. Off pace, only battled home at Muswellbrook at wide odds. Unproven this trip. Others more persuasive.

Been out of sorts of late and still winless and defeats stacking up (22 on the bounce); beaten 9l into eighth over 6½f at Muswellbrook (maiden) ten days ago; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Unable to make an impression at Muswellbrook for new stable. Leaning towards others here.

RP

Yet to open his account after nine starts; fair effort when beaten 5l, finishing fifth of seven in a handicap (Muswellbrook, dropped back to this distance) on first run for his current trainer 23 days ago; others more likely.

Well down the track this track on debut when firmed from $14 into $10. Since trialled at Muswellbrook 21 Oct. Looking elsewhere at this stage.

Never landed a blow on her debut when last of nine over 5½f here at 9-1 in September; improvement possible; should benefit for having a run under her belt.

Shown some promise. Sent forward, outgunned late but boxed on this track at second outing. Switching to 900m. Can have a major say.

Finished second when 8-15 over 5f here (maiden) last month; lightly raced with this just her third appearance; should be on the premises.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
