NSW racing heads to Scone on Friday for an eight-race card. We currently sit on a Heavy 10 track, and with plenty of rain forecast across the Hunter Region we’re likely to be on a Heavy 10 all day. The rail is out 3m from the 800m marker to winning post and true the remainder.
Best Bet at Scone – Cloudland
Our best of the day comes in race six with Cloudland for the Kris Lees yard. The Swiss Ace gelding comes here in outstanding form winning first-up at Scone over 1300m by 0.3 lengths, though to the eye the win was much better than the margin. He was hard held crossing the winning post and looks set to handle these heavy conditions on Friday based on that effort on September 23. That day it was a similar rated track to what we’re expecting and assuming that’s what we get the 1400m should be no issue. He steps up to Class 3 here, but it looks an easy enough assignment for the four-year-old to keep his winning record intact. Dylan Gibbons picks up the ride and expect him to ride aggressively to pinch a spot forward and possibly the one-by-one. If he lobs there, it’s race over.

Next Best at Scone – Loud
Bjorn Baker trains this three-year-old filly by Ocean Park as she looks to break her maiden status on Friday afternoon. Loud was unlucky not to win last start at Bathurst over the 1200m when beaten a lip by Kiara Diane. She started as a short-priced favourite on that occasion, but got too far back on a day where you simply couldn’t make up the ground late. She’s third-up this preparation now and strips fit for what looks a comfortable task as she strives to notch her first win for the camp. Although she’s drawn a wide gate that doesn’t bother us as we think Mitchell Bell will push forward and possibly even lead with a lack of tempo in the race. If she can get her own way up in front she should be too hard to run down. With fitness on her side, Loud looks a great bet.

Next Best Again at Scone – Rosie Impact
Rosie Impact comes here on a very short back-up after finishing fourth at Newcastle on October 15 and looks ready to win third-up here. Richard and Will Freedman train this mare by Real Impact and looks to be on an upward trajectory in form. She reached very talented heights when competitive at Group 1 level behind Gypsy Goddess last preparation and finally looks to be recapturing that form after hitting the line strong in her first two hit outs. This is a very likeable race for Rosie Impact at BM58 level and we even get the ultimate gear change with jockey Grant Buckley getting back on this girl. In her 13 career starts, Buckley has been aboard for both her two wins and she is a massive chance of making it three wins come Friday afternoon. A mid-field sit with cover for the pair and they’ll be hitting the line strongly to score.
