Deebo to take up the running at a moderate tempo. GREAT POINT (9) had mixed success this campaign and proven at this course and distance. Back from Highway class when she loomed strongly for a narrow second over 1300m at Scone. Was five weeks between runs at latest and further improved with the claim. REFLECTING FAME (6) game return when shouldering the 61kg for a sound fourth over 1250m at Scone on the heavy (8) track. Fitter now and the firmer surface keeps him in contention. DEEBO (5) building a solid winning CV and can bounce back from the low draw third up. Covered plenty of ground in the run when a respectable sixth over 1300m at Scone. Can race a little closer and Buckley keeps the ride. DAWN COUNTY (8) relished the extra trip and rain affected track as fav when a determined winner over 1400m at Scone. This is stronger but must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,6,5,8.
