Scone's racing card on June 9 boasts eight exciting events, highlighted by three Class 1 races and a fiercely competitive Benchmark 82 feature.

Key selections include Not Written Off in Race 7, expected to capitalize on a favorable setup, and Third Base in Race 2, well-suited to softer surfaces and with an improved barrier. Ocean Tsunami is a notable market mover, and trainer Nathan Doyle's strong strike-rate with Iron Fury adds intrigue for punters.

Scone Tips June 9


Best Bet


Race 7 No. 6 Not Written Off

Not Written Off won twice last prep, ending the campaign with an impressive victory by over three lengths in a 1000m Class 3 handicap.

Facing eight rivals on her return to action, she put in a good effort to lose out by less than a length in a 1000m event.

Competing at Benchmark 66 level that day, the mare was ridden prominently on a Good 4 track.

The mare has been freshened since that effort, which saw her apprentice-ridden, while she placed third on her only previous start at this venue.

Braith Nock's mount gets in off a nice racing weight here and barrier seven is not expected to pose a problem, while trained by Cameron Crockett, she had a valid excuse having finished lame in her only previous start on Heavy ground and looks capable of recording a win.

Next Best


Race 2 No. 2 Third Base

Third Base has shown up well on Heavy surfaces in the past, placing in the top two in both starts in testing conditions.

A narrow defeat over this distance at Newcastle last time is the most recent of those efforts.

Facing 10 rivals, the gelding was well away after jumping from a wide barrier on a Heavy 9 track that day.

The gelding raced very wide and without cover throughout the event, with the eighth home going on to win at Tamworth next time.

The five-year-old boasts a better barrier next to the rail and, having raced prominently at Newcastle, is expected to enjoy a kinder run here, while the drop into a Class 1 and the addition of Winona Costin strengthen his claims.

Market Mover


Race 6 No. 4 Ocean Tsunami

Ocean Tsunami delivered a good effort from a wide barrier when finishing second at Newcastle on her return to action last month.

The filly failed to shine when again allocated a wide barrier at Rosehill subsequently, but she has attracted the attention of punters back in a non-metro event.

After opening at $4.20 with Unibet Australia, Ocean Tsunami is now a $2.60 favourite.

Stats Say


Trainer Nathan Doyle boasts a near 28% strike-rate (10/36) here this season, with Iron Fury in Race 5 his sole runner on the card.

The gelding is without a win since breaking his maiden at Donald in April last year, however, he delivered some good efforts in defeat last prep.

The four-year-old has performed well in placing in the top three in both first-up starts and holds obvious claims with apprentice Liberty Smyth aboard.
