NSW racing heads to the Hunter region on Tuesday afternoon as Scone Race Club gets set to host a bumper nine-race program. The rail is out +5m between the 800m to 400m markers, while the remainder is out +3m the rest of the way around. Consistent rainfall is likely to hit the course proper in the lead-up, so with the track already rated a Soft 7 at the time of acceptances, punters can expect a genuine Heavy deck. Racing is scheduled to get underway at 11:35am local time.
Best Bet at Scone: Photograph
Photograph returns after 116-day spell and appears to be travelling exceptionally well heading into this first-up assignment. She saluted in a recent jump-out at Warwick Farm on June 17, travelling wide throughout before bolting clear to score under her own steam. She’s drawn awkwardly in barrier 11, but watch for Zac Lloyd to drag back towards the rear before unleashing Photograph down the centre of the course.
Best Bet
Race 1 – 
#12 Photograph (11)
2yo Filly | T: James Cummings | J: Zac Lloyd (56kg)

Next Best at Scone: Fernao
Fernao impressed on Australian debut, closing off gamely to get within four lengths of The Creator at Canterbury June 19. He was hopeless out of the barriers, forcing Tyler Schiller to steal rails runs in the final 400m, showing a blistering turn-of-foot first-up for the Annabel Neasham barn. The Irish import should take dramatic improvement from that performance, and with this Class 1 contest a much easier assignment on paper, Fernao should be figuring in the finish again.

Race 4 – 
#3 Fernao (7)
5yo Gelding | T: Annabel Neasham | J: Alysha Collett (59kg)

Best Value at Scone: Delrico
Delrico looks a big price with online bookmakers as he makes his debut for the Chris Waller stable. The son of Kingman caught the eye in a recent piece of work at Rosehill on June 21, cruising through the wire behind Mawjood, who subsequently dominated his rivals first-up. The form looks strong, and although this unraced two-year-old might want further distance later in the preparation to hit his peak, the each-way price about Delrico is too good to ignore in this wide-open maiden contest.
Best Value
Race 2 – 
#5 Delrico (2)
2yo Colt | T: Chris Waller | J: Lee Magorrian (57kg)
+900 with Bet365
