Strike Award | (Gawler Race 3 No. 7)
The son of Shamus Award heads into this contest second-up on the back of a two-length fifth placing to Queman at Morphettville. You could see late in the piece he got a bit tired being first-up and he shifted in a touch in the straight, which is why the addition of blinkers here is going to be ideal for him. The speed is moderate, so he should be able to lead or box-seat from the barrier and the blinkers should get him to settle nicely, which will work nicely if he is able to control the race. Up to 1500m is the query but again, this is where the blinkers come into it and with even luck, he should be strong in the finish.
Current Price: $4.60

Lights of Broadway | (Gawler Race 1 No.12)
This daughter of Rebel Raider had a couple of issues in her 2.8 length defeat back in sixth. She was checked around the 1000m mark and began to over-race as well which didn’t play into her hands late in the race. This is a highly winnable maiden race with the pace being moderate to fast and she is drawn nicely in barrier five, so hopefully, she can sit a touch closer in the run. She should show nice improvement here second-up and I think she will be fighting out the finish.
Current Price: $8.00
Best Lay
Castle Of Kings | (Gawler Race 8 No.2)
Happy to take on this son of Castledale due to the price. He is coming into this race first up with a solid weight over 1200m, and I truly think he is more suited to a touch further. The benefit for him is his early pace but he may be wanting here first-up after 221 days off.
Lay Price: $2.00

Key Comments There are 9 races including the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 (race 8). The track is soft and the rail is in the true position. Best Bet Angel Capital (Doomben Race 6 No. 5) Debuted for a 2.3 length win at Cranbourne where he came from last and wound up from the top of the straight to flash home down the outside. Jamie Kah sticks and he looks a lovely colt. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson

Key Comments 2nd day of the Scone Carnival. Plenty of features including the Woodlands Stakes (race 3), Denise Joy Stakes (race 6), Ortensia Stakes (race 7), the Dark Jewel Classic (race 8) and Luskin Star Stakes (race 9). Best Bet Jedibeel (Scone Race 10 No. 8) Lovely return effort when being backed off the map and showed off a fine turn of foot. Can go right on with things here and should get a nice tow into it from barrier 7. Hard to
