Scone Race 1 - Kia Ora Country Boosted Mdn Plate
SPLASH OF STEEL (6) is back after an 11-week spell. Opened last prep with a barnstorming second in the $250k Magic Millions Maiden over 1100m at the Gold Coast. Won't spend a cent from the inside alley. Best form measures up nicely in this company. COPPERLINE (1) last appeared when a tiring third after leading on debut over this trip at Wyong back in July 2025. Trialling well and looks set for a bright return to the track. HEAD KAHUNA (3) backs up just five days after working home well to finish a distance second over 1200m at Mudgee. Blinkers go on for the first time which might spark further improvement. Two unraced runners should attract plenty of interest. FLIRTATION (8) from the Messara/Gavranich yard is a half-sister by Snitzel to the smart sprinter Pariah. Won her only trial and looks well above average. FANNOIR (7) returns for a second campaign. Failed at $1.95 on debut in January and hasn't raced since. Recent trial winner who can turn things around this prep.

Racing well recently. Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Mudgee Ctry Mdn on May 10 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Portofino with 59.5kg at $4.20. The race before that ran on from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Tamworth Super Mdn-Sw on April 24 over 1000m, 3 len behind Waveton carrying 58.5kg at $1.85. Blinkers applied and on a quick back-up so looks a key runner.

Recent form sound. At the latest run made ground from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Taree Ctry Mdn on May 5 over 1007m, in the wet; 3.5 len behind Kissavos with 55kg at $10. The run before that 4th of 9 at Muswellbrook Ctry Mdn on April 20 over 1000m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Starverna with 55.5kg at $17. Going well. This looks a bit rich.
