Race 1 — Kia Ora Plate (C1) 2200m · jumps

Race preview

The Kia Ora Plate at Scone is a Class 1 sprint over 2200 metres on a Good 4 track in fine conditions, jumping at 1:25 pm AEDT. Tasman Deel heads the market, with Mission Strike and Quirky Princess next up, followed by Firealarm. It's a competitive field where recent form and track experience could separate them.

Tasman Deel looks the standout on the numbers. He won here over this exact distance last time out and carries the fastest finishing sectionals from that victory. The form trainer is running hot—out-performing market expectation by 11 per cent—and his rating of 100 rates a real chance. He sits in midfield and has the tactical advantage of closing late. Mission Strike ran a solid second at Gosford on a Good 4 and brings fast-finishing credentials from his last start too, though his Australian record is limited at just two runs. Quirky Princess won a Tamworth maiden then backed it up with a Class 1 effort here where she battled home a length behind. She's well drawn at gate one and the stable is punching above weight at 19 per cent POT across recent runners.

Firealarm leads from barrier three but form suggests he's up against it. AAP has him marked with limited polish since breaking his maiden, and recent efforts on soft ground at Tamworth and Wauchope have been below par. The big tick goes to Tasman Deel, who's proven over this trip, trained by a stable firing, and shaped as the horse to beat on recent evidence.

AAP

Found it tough since shaking his maiden. Unable to make an impression on a soft deck at Tamworth. Others with greater appeal.

ILB

Backing up quickly for this race. Started $7.50 and subpar when 5th last time at Tamworth but returns to more ground. Likely to be well placed early. A difficult test here.

RP

Grade looks suitable; was fifth of seven, beaten 8l, in a handicap at Tamworth last week.

RSIS

On a quick back up. Started at 13/2 and sub-standard effort when 5th last time at Tamworth but coming back up in distance. Should come to hand quickly.

Ex Matthew Smith in NSW. Trailed, even finish at Illawarra Grange. Could get into the placings.

ILB

Jumped at $6.50 and came in 5th last start at Illawarra Grange and will have to carry extra weight. First start for a new trainer.

RSIS

Was 11/2 and ran 5th last run at Illawarra Grange and will have to carry more weight. First race for a new trainer.

Streeted them this venue over today's trip. He can go on and win again.

ILB

Blitzed its rivals when winning by nearly 5L last run at this track and good career start. Aaron Bullock adds value. Racing consistently this preparation. The one to catch.

RP

Registered first success at the fifth time of asking when winning with a bit in hand upped to this distance last month; has raised his game the last twice; big chance.

RSIS

Blitzed its rivals when winning by close to 5L last start at this track and promising career start. In a purple patch of form since returning from a break. Strong bet. Will take a world of beating.

Cleared maiden ranks at Tamworth 1 Oct. Started $3.60 when battled home in Class 1 company this track. Not out of this.

ILB

Was $3.60 and finished 4th last time here but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Will be hitting the line strongly. Watching with interest.

RP

Behind Tasman Deel when finishing fourth three weeks ago; has raised her game the last twice and can be a player at this level; deserves respect given she won a conditions race two runs back and had excuses last time (crowded).

RSIS

Started at 13/5 and came in 4th last start here but gets the perfect draw. Should be swooping on the field late.

Failed to threaten at Dubbo. Super fit from racing, looks a safer place proposition.

ILB

At $15.00 ran 9th last run at Dubbo but facing a rise in trip.

RP

Still winless and defeats stacking up (13 on the bounce); held when ninth beaten 7l over 1m at Dubbo (conditions race) 11 days ago; trainer has been going through a quiet spell; others appeal more.

RSIS

Started 14/1 and finished 9th last start at Dubbo but facing a rise in trip.

Second run now in Australia. Ridden back and never a factor at Muswellbrook for new trainer. Better conditioned.

ILB

Backs up quickly. Did well to place 2nd last time at Gosford and has a good draw. Can go through the gears. Respect the betting.

Good effort when 1½l second over 1m2f at Gosford (conditions race) on Thursday; winless in ten starts overseas.

RSIS

Backing up quickly. Did well to finish 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last run at Gosford and has a good draw. Will be trying to topple them late. Can win.
