We have the best bets picked from across the meeting with a Best Bet and other value selections for Scone racetrack.
Race 2: No.7 Saintly Sands
The Rod Northam-trained galloper has done everything but win this preparation and well placed here, looks set for a change of luck in this event.
Last start, the Santos mare made it five-straight top-three finishes (without winning) when she claimed third prize in a Class 1, here over 1600m with Chelsea Hillier in the saddle again.
After a slow start, she came from back in the field and arrived in time to claim the minor prize in the race, beaten just over a length on the line.
The stable step her up to the 2200m for the first time here which should give her a better opportunity to run down all the front runners this time in with Hillier retaining the ride.
Drawn to do no early work from gate two, the four-year-old maps to settle near mid-field and currently in consistent form, looks set for another bold performance in this contest.
Race 7: No.9 Invincible Red
The Craig Martin-trained galloper is three starts into this preparation and looks set to go one better at odds in this event.
Last start, the Divine Prophet gelding showed a ton of improvement when third-up when he beat all but one home in a BM66 over the mile at Tamworth.
He settles fourth in the small field before taking over in the run where he was then grabbed by a swooper, late on the scene, leaving him with second prize on the day.
The six-year-old gets the gun-run from gate one where he maps to be box-seating on settling as Siena Grima takes the reins for the first time.
Facing BM82 opposition here, she is already a two-time winner over the 1600m and at his peak today, he looks well worth an each-way ticket in this contest.
Race 8: No.4 Dances With Hooves
The Cameron Crockett-trained galloper is second-up today and looks set to go one better in this event.
Last start, the Real Steel mare resumed after six months off the scene and impressed when she beat all but one to the line in Open company over 1100m at Dubbo.
She drew the car park in gate 12 (of 14) where Mikayla Weir settled her near last before making up ground in the run home and arriving in time to claim the silver medal in the race, beaten less than two lengths in the end.
Taking on BM82 opposition today, Aaron Bullock takes the reins for the first time and ideally drawn in gate two, maps to be near mid-field on settling.
Already a winner when second-up and has had success at the track previously, the five-year-old should prove hard to hold out in this contest.
