Scone Tips July 12

Emirates Park Country Boosted BM58 Tips (Race 1)

Scone Best Bet - Race 1 No. 3 Image Of The Sun

With a mile run under her belt and returning to rain affected ground, Image Of The Sun can turn the tables on Need A Miracle from their June 28 clash at Tamworth.

Need A Miracle was well ridden up front on that occasion, whereas this three-year-old was dragged back through the field and left flat-footed when chasing from a long way out.

Image Of The Sun showed promise in four prior outings, which included a maiden triumph in her first prep before a third appearance, where she made ground in a leader-dominated race.

Scone Value Bet - Race 5 No. 12 Sebilla

You always have to respect the Rodney Northam stable, especially when playing at home and arriving fourth-up at start five is Sebilla, who hasn't done much wrong so far.

Spelled after a runner-up finish on debut last December, the three-year-old opened her second prep at Gunnedah before making ground for third over 1300m at Scone.

She was then a notable drifter third-up at Tamworth and there were excuses for that sixth-of-ten finish over a mile, as Sebilla covered ground and she draws kinder on Friday.

Wild Ruler At Newgate Class 3 Handicap Tips (Race 6)

Scone Next Best Bet - Race 6 No. 11 Joiselle

It's a handy enough Class 3 and while form is likely to stack up out of this race for a handful of these runners, the winner likely comes from either Joiselle or Hellova Nature.

I'm leaning the way of Joiselle, a local filly who was unbeaten via two appearances in her first prep and the daughter of Snitzel moved well in a trial win here on June 12.

Under her own steam, the Brett Cavanough-trained galloper got the better of Lonhro's Queen late in that 1000m heat and that runner-up was an impressive Tamworth winner on June 21.

Prydes Easifeed Performance Class 1 Tips (Race 8)

Scone Roughie - Race 8 No. 6 Tamar

While the weight conditions work against last start maiden winners in Class 1 handicap's, you could still mark Hell's Itch fav here, a gelding who has returned in nice order.

In race with a long tail to it outside, Tamar looks the forgotten runner at monster odds, a resuming four-year-old who generally runs a race fresh and he had excuses late last prep.

He pulled lame at Scone when finishing last-of-seven in a Class 1, while the gelding bled from both nostrils in his last start flop at Gosford and he's better suited over these shorter trips.
