Tips and race-by-race guide for Scone on Tuesday
Race 1
5. Marin County is a UK import that had two starts at Kempton Park late last year and didn't do much in either. She had her first start in Australia when produced at Inverell and ran a solid-enough race to finish midfield. She is better for that run and can go on with the job here. 7. Priscila Statement ran third at Muswellbrook on debut and shouldn't be taken lightly based on that effort. 8. It Stays In Vegas won a trial before resuming with a fifth at Muswellbrook. He could make an impact in this. 1. Hot Chestnut resumes from a spell here and has shown some ability despite not figuring in the placings to date.
How to play it: Marin County each way.
Race 2
2. Lady Memphis has only had two starts for a debut second behind Private Harry at Newcastle and a strong win at Goulburn as favourite. She resumes from a spell here after two trials and only needs to return in the same form she left in to be winning again. 3. Signatories won at Muswellbrook on a heavy track two starts ago then was down the track in a tougher race here last time. He is set to improve in this. 1. Capital Dancer wasn't beaten far at Newcastle when last produced and has claims, while 8. Ranhita has been midfield of late and is far from the worst.
How to play it: Lady Memphis to win.
Race 3
9. Ritzsun is a talented performer with two wins and four placings from nine starts. He has finished second at Mudgee and Gosford at his latest two starts and is knocking on the door for another victory after a recent trial in which he ran well. 6. Florida Sky resumes here after two trials and has shown the ability in her career to maintain her good fresh record here. 7. Bodgie has finished third in each of his latest two starts and can get into the money again. 8. In Spades was placed last time out and has claims again.
How to play it: Ritzsun to win.
Race 4
1. Louisburgh resumed with a solid second at Wyong then started at a short odds-on quote only to finish second again at Gosford when narrowly beaten. He should be at his peak now. 3. Purple Haze debuted with a third in a small field at Wyong and followed that up with a last-start fourth at Gosford. 9. Backward Glance followed a couple of placings with a last-start fourth at Newcastle and that form looks solid, while 5. Omaha Sand resumes here and hasn't been beaten far in each of his three starts.
How to play it: Louisburgh to win.

Tips and race-by-race guide for Scone on Monday
Track good 4 and rail true. Race 1 3. Champagne Tonight, an ex-Victorian filly with plenty of ability, will have her first outing in NSW for a leading Armidale stable since debuting early last spring. Showed speed that day against some handy opposition and reportedly has been working well. Gets first use of the inside and likely to start a short-priced favourite after being scratched from the opener at Grafton on Sunday to be saved for this. 9. It Stays In Vegas is a two-year-old trained on the track, and the clear threat fourth-up after placing in his last two. 4. Diva Rouge, fitter into her second start, and 10. Vincetio, who was well outclassed on debut against metropolitan opposition, can fight for the minor prize. How to play it: Champagne Tonight to win and quinella 3 and 9. Race 2 8. Liberty London can improve sharply second-up off a lengthy break, and significantly back on a bigger track four weeks between runs. Never got much room when settling back in her first NSW run, but balances up much better here and can produce a telling final 300m burst. 2. Royal Armada reloads for the new home stable with gear changes three weeks after doing next to nothing from well back at Wyong. 1. Power Through is a big market watch resuming for his second prep behind a tidy trial. 3. Keinbah's Gift made some late ground on debut at Newcastle in heavy going and can improve sharply back on top of the ground. 4. Hannah's Bridge can run into the minor money from the inside draw. How to play it: Liberty London to win. Race 3 7. Ichika is an improving mare tracking nicely to peak third-up. Ran home well when having her first run in NSW after transferring from Queensland, then again hit the line late from even further back in a Super Maiden at Tamworth. Drawn to settle a bit closer from this draw, and a stronger jockey goes on. 6. Epic Statement is the likely market threat, despite drawing wide third-up. Has also done her best work late in two closing efforts this prep and another one suited by the big stretch here. 5. Airwalker is over the odds second-up from a softer draw; while 2. Hanoverian, lightly raced and second-up, and home tracker 9. Lily Darling, resuming off a quiet trial here can both add value into trifecta and first four plays.

Tips and race-by-race guide for Tamworth on Friday
Selections based on a soft track. Race 1 1. Airwaves is having his first start. He's had three trials in Victoria and resumes from a break here for a new stable. He's well bred and looks set to make his debut with a bold showing. 6. Kitsune Vixen is a filly on debut, and she has had two trials in preparation. She won the latest of them at Wyong by a narrow margin and jockey Jenny Duggan sticks here. 7. Skyza is another filly on debut, and she has also had two trials. She finished fourth in her second trial at Wyong. 3. It Stays In Vegas ran well enough when a last-start third at Scone, although safely held by the winner. How to play it: Airwaves to win. Race 2 1. Hellwithasmile makes his debut here on the back of two trials, and he won the latest of them at Scone. Aaron Bullock takes the ride here and he is primed for a bold showing. 6. Rubilicious resumed with a fourth at this track when leading and has claims, while 7. See You Then has finished second in both starts either side of a spell and warrants respect. 8. Sorutal is a filly having her first start and was down the track in her only trial at this track. How to play it: Hellwithasmile to win. Race 3 1. Occult is having his first start for a new stable in this. He resumes on the back of two trials with a close-up second at Gunnedah being followed by an easy win at this track in a small field. He looks set to break through here. 3. He'sthechief won a Gunnedah trial before hitting the line well for a last-start third at Dubbo. 6. Qui Rouge has finished second in her past two starts and can figure again, while 7. Dartbrook has been racing well and can get into the placings again. How to play it: Occult to win. Race 4 8. Spandex was resuming from a spell when hitting the line well enough for a third at Port Macquarie. That was on the back of two trials, and the step up to 1400m here second up looks ideal. 4. Ghaznavi was midfield at Scone when last produced and has had a trial to be kept up to the mark for this. 2. Currumbin Alley ran a good second on debut at Gunnedah and then was a shade disappointing when midfield at Dubbo. 6. Preordain has been placed in five of 12 starts and is a minor money chance. How to play it: Spandex to win.
