🏇🎪 A big team set as the Scone Race Club Cup Carnival gets underway on home turf today
〰️ 1000m Country Boosted Maiden -R1- 〰️
🔹 KOSTANUFFIN
Second race start for the 5YO mare after a sound debut effort at Dubbo earlier this month. Previously trialled well and looking to continue improving with racing in this strong Maiden. Ashley Morgan rides.
〰️ 1300m Super Maiden Handicap -R2- 〰️
🔹 LEOVANNI
Resuming 4YO mare who has performed well fresh and comes in fitted for 1300m from two trials, with the latest a pleasing win at Muswellbrook. Placed twice at the venue including at this trip and drawn favourably in barrier 2 with Ashley Morgan aboard to make her presence felt.
〰️ 1100m Country Boosted Class 1 -R5- 〰️
🔹 JAGERSCHNITZEL
Fresh-up here after a decent break,
the 4YO has placed in all of his last six, possessing good early speed and routinely giving a sight in front- even out to 1400m. Has trialled up over the past month for his return and gets his winning rider (via steward’s room) Ash Morgan back on from a good draw in gate 4.
〰️ 1400m Vinery Country Cup BM84 -R8- 〰️
🔹 DANCES WITH HOOVES👇
Tough mare strips fitter second-up after working home strongly for 3rd in the Jackal at Tamworth three weeks ago. The rise to 1400m presents nicely now and she has already proven herself in affairs of this order, highlighted by her Mudgee Cup success last preparation. Ashley Morgan rode her to success here in the 1600m HWY two carnivals ago and partners again today.
🔹 TAIPAN LEGEND
Coming off a Wellington Cup run where things didn’t go to plan, the 5YO will look to roll forward as he usually does. Drawn very wide, but capable of negating that by building momentum gradually and working across into his rhythm on speed. Mikayla Weir, who partnered him to the first of his Tamworth mile wins this preparation, stays aboard.
🔹 RAJNISH
Experienced campaigner who takes on a another strong race, after contesting the Tamworth Cup and Prelude over this trip last month. Liberty Smyth claims, bringing him to a helpful 56.5kg and he’ll be hoping to show an improved effort now fully race fit third-up.
🔹 HULU
Genuine mare taking on another strong assignment after tackling the Tamworth Cup and winning the Prelude at her last two. Aaron Bullock goes aboard and while the draw makes things tricky, she has proven herself capable at the distance and will be looking for the luck to finish off late.
✨ Best of luck to all connections on a big opening day of the Carnival.
