Our Scone Horse Racing Tips for Fridays meeting.
Race 7 is the Group 3 Dark Jewel Classic and race 8 is the Scone Cup.
Gravina (Scone Race 8 No.3)
This three-year-old Sebring colt trained by James Cummings has a win and two places from six starts. On resuming from a 58 week spell he kept chasing for 2.62 lengths 2nd over 1100m at Hawkesbury on 5 April with the best 600m-200m race sectional of the day at distance, then was bumped shortly after the start and finished 1.3 lengths 7th over 1200m at Canterbury on 21 April. Back to country level he should be hard to beat.

Each Way
Taketheshot (Scone Race 4 No. 9):
This three-year-old Smart Missile gelding trained by Mark Mason at Tamworth has one win and four places from seven starts. He resumed from a 20 week spell for 0.08 length 2nd over 900m at Scone on 15 March, then chased solidly for 3.87 lengths 2nd over 1000m at Tamworth on 23 April. Should race on the speed and looks a good each-way chance.

Best Lay
Laure Me In (Scone Race 7 No. 9):
This six-year-old Ad Valorem gelding trained by David Pfieffer at Warwick Farm has six wins and 10 places from 34 starts and is the early favourite in the Scone Cup over 1600m. He battled away for 1.7 lengths 4th on the Listed January Cup over 2000m at Randwick on 9 January, then had a 15 week break. On resuming he chased hard but was never fully clear when 1.2 lengths 4th over 1400m at Randwick on 24 April.Has not raced at Scone before and I expect him torun well but have rated others above him.

Key Comments The features are the Dalrello Stakes (race 6), Victory Stakes (race 8) and the Queensland Guineas (race 9). The track is soft and the rail is +7 metres the entire circuit. Best Bet Typhoon Taavi (Eagle Farm Race 3 No. 3) This mare from the Tony Gollan stable has won her last 2 races by big margins. She has heaps of natural speed and gets a 3kg claim for Tahlia Fenton who has had success on her before. Leading hope. Check
Horse Racing Tips: VIC Friday 3rd May 2024
Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet is off the back of a strong second placing and looks hard to hold out launching from the good draw. Best Bet Red Red Wine (Echuca Race 8 No. 5) He has been hard to catch lately but was keen on him earlier this prep when he was smashed in the market and ran on well in a higher grade than this. Gets his chance in this field and should relish the drop in

Best Bet Profit Pocket (Ascot Race 2 No. 3) She’s won all 3 starts this campaign at Esperance, Ascot and Pinjarra At her last 2 wins she’s raced outside the leader before taking over for dominant wins. Think she can do it again. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Jo Jackson
