Scone Race 6 - Darley Hcp (C1)
THORSTEN (2) brings the most persuasive recent form after missing by a neck in a BM60 at Canberra, where he was slow away, covered ground and still finished strongly after having difficulty obtaining clear running. His Newcastle Mdn win prior showed he can convert that form, and Jess Taylor has already had one win and one placing from two rides on him. PURE MOTIVE (5) was sharp winning on debut at Muswellbrook, putting the race away quickly as favourite on soft ground. Should run the 1100m and the stable and jockey profile at this venue adds depth. Leading player again. PUTINACALL (6) has not missed a placing in four starts and was beaten a nose at Port Macquarie after being tightened, with a strong record around 1100m. Brings a strong SP profile and should be around the money. WON'THEARMECOMING (4) comes through a Class 2 second at this track when beaten half a length on soft ground. Has the right exposed standard to be a genuine danger again.

Was disappointing as a well-supported favourite at the Beaumont last start, finishing fourth and beaten just over six lengths after tracking the speed and failing to finish it off. His Canberra second in a BM65 start prior reads better, beaten just under a length as favourite. Claim helps and deserves another chance.

Went very close in a BM60 at Canberra last start, beaten a neck after beginning slowly, covering ground and having trouble getting clear around the turn. That followed a Newcastle Mdn win over 900m where he beat Capdiva at generous odds. Brings the strongest winning case.

Resumed with a strong second in a Class 2 at this track, beaten half a length by Mainstay on soft ground after travelling well and only being nailed late. Her Muswellbrook Mdn win prior to the break was also sound, beating Love You Anyway after early bumps. Wide draw is the query, but she stays in the mix.

Made an immediate statement on debut at Muswellbrook, winning a 900m Mdn by just under four lengths as favourite on soft ground after putting the race away quickly. New 1100m test is the only real question.

Was beaten a nose at Port Macquarie last start after settling well back and being tightened late, so the beaten-favourite tag is easy enough to temper. His third there start prior was solid, and he has one win and three placings from four runs around 1100m. Peaks third-up with strong winning claims.

Backs up after a narrow Muswellbrook second on soft ground, where she was sent out favourite and beaten a neck by Song For Rosie. Her Port Macquarie Mdn win start prior was more decisive, beating Womensworld by four lengths as a dominant odds-on chance. Drawn to be prominent, keep safe on the quick back-up.

Comes back from provincial BM64 company after finishing fourth at Newcastle, beaten four and a half lengths at long odds on soft ground. She was last in a BM66 at Goulburn start prior, beaten just over seven lengths after being swamped late. Wide gate will make it tough.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing eighth at Dubbo, beaten just under four lengths as favourite on heavy ground when unable to quicken. His prior Gunnedah BM58 run was poor, though he did race wide throughout. Recent race form before the break was plain.

Won a Coonabarabran Mdn last start over 900m, beating Fratianno by just under a length after settling handy and fighting on. Her debut fourth at Muswellbrook had merit after racing wide, and barrier 1 gives her a kinder setup. The 1100m record is the sticking point in a deeper race.
