Our Scone Horse Racing Tips for Tuesdays meeting.
Battenburg (Scone Race 5 No. 1)
This four-year-old gelding trained by John Thompson at Randwick has one win and two places from six starts. He finished 7.7 lengths 6th in the Group 2 Moonee Valley Vase over 2040m on 26 October after placing in the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes at the start before, then resumed from a 75 week spell for a 0.52 length win over 1200m at Goulburn on 8 April. Looks destined for better things and should win.

Each Way
Banju (Scone Race 7 No. 3):
Banju hasn’t missed a place in his eight starts. He resumed from a 20 week spell with a 0.93 length win over 1200m at Quirindi on 19 February, then got to the front straightening but was headed at the 200m and held on for 1.34 lengths 2nd over 1200m at Dubbo on 5 March. Drawn well in barrier 2 he looks a good each-way bet again.

Best Lay
Croesus (Scone Race 4 No. 5):
This three-year-old Panzer Division gelding trained by Paul Messara is the early favourite in this maiden handicap over 1100m. He has only had one race start where he chased steadily for 3.6 lengths 2nd over 1000m at Muswellbrook on 9 April. He doesn’t offer value in this capacity field.

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet comes up in race 3 and only needs a pinch of luck from the barrier to be breaking maiden. Best Bet Beautiful View (Horsham Race 3 No. 1) Needs luck from out there but has been around the mark all this prep and Fry is an ideal booking. Does find the right race here and still looms at backable odds. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker Each

Key Comments The rail is in 4 metres from the 1000-380m mark and true for the remainder. Racing on a soft 5 track. The best bet is early on in the day. Best Bet Greaves (Canberra Race 2 No. 1) Capable of a big finish when on song. The map here looks good from barrier 4 and Owen has options. This race suits and last start rates well enough to take this out. Check odds on SmartB Analyst: Bryce Parker

Key Comments The rail is true. The best bet comes up in the last. Best Bet Mishare (Seymour Race 8 No. 6) Likeable return when running 3rd in a race no harder than this. The kind draw and ideal map makes for appeal and there has been good support come race day.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Saturday 20th April 2024
Key Comments There are 2 features on the meeting. The Mornington Cup (race 8) and the Hareeba Stakes (race 9). The rail is out 9 metres and the best bet is in the first. Best Bet Perspiration (Mornington Race 1 No. 1) Has been excellent to date in 2 runs so far and looks ready to win. Ethan Brown does the steering and you can argue it should have won last start when taken wide and hit the line with plenty of intent.
