Race-by-race tips and previews for Sunday's Wyong meeting
Selections based on a heavy track Race 1 8. Shuttering had a number of trials before debuting in the Inglis Challenge at Scone and running an even race when finishing fifth. She was only beaten 3.5 lengths in that event and should have derived benefit from the experience. 2. Swexan is a stablemate of Shuttering that is on debut here. He has had two trials to be fitted for this and bears close watching. 7. Sapphire Rose debuts here. She won a trial in November and has since had another two trials leading into this and has been placed in each. She's drawn well and looks primed to run well. 1. Golden Straand is a Snitzel colt on debut that has had three recent trials and finished second in the latest two. He looks set to run well. How to play it: Shuttering EACH WAY. Race 2 10. Rainbow Goddess had good form at the end of her last preparation being placed in three of four before the break. She had two trials and ran well in both before resuming with a second at Hawkesbury. She will be better for that run and has the advantage of gate one here. 1. Inncourt is an import having his first Australian start. He is a recent trial winner that is set to run well fresh. 3. Prince Harrison won a Warwick Farm trial before resuming with a midfield Kembla Grange effort and he can show up in this. 9. Oakfield Zena was placed two starts ago and can lift on a last start failure. How to play it: Rainbow Goddess WIN. Race 3 1. Harlex resumed from a spell with a dominant Newcastle victory then stepped up in grade and ran well when fourth at Scone during the carnival there. He's drawn to get the run of the race here and can bounce back. 2. Pratt was first-up when scoring easily at Newcastle last time out and bears close watching again. 4. Explosive Torpido has performed well in both runs back from a spell and is one of the chances again, while 5. Estephania failed to beat a runner home when resuming but strips fitter for this. How to play it: Harlex WIN. Race 4 4. Diamond Show settled back in the field but once finding clear running in the straight hit the line well to score a strong win at Hawkesbury when last produced and she can go on with the job. 5. Twilight Elegance resumed with a Kembla Grange win and is worth including among the chances. 3. Iceman hit the line well late for a last start third and only needs to repeat that effort. 6. November Air has been racing well with a Canberra win before two recent minor placings. How to play it: Diamond Show WIN.

2025 Denise's Joy Stakes: Peter Robl saddles up Overfull
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. Peter Robl once made the Scone's two-day carnival his own in the saddle, now he's back again to steal another share of the loot as a trainer. The former Group 1-winning hoop was in the twilight of his riding career in 2013 when rode a four-timer – then half the card – with four stakes winners across the Saturday program. Robl had a day to remember as he captured the Denise's Joy Stakes on Diamond Earth, Luskin Star Stakes on Fontelina, Woodlands Stakes aboard Tweet as well as the Dark Jewel Classic on Arctic Flight. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! On Saturday, he will return to Scone to try to win the Listed $200,000 Denise's Joy Stakes (1100m) for the second time, this time on the other side of the fence. Robl will saddle up talented filly Overfull in the three-year-old fillies feature. Scone has already proven to be a happy hunting ground for Overfull, which saluted at the same two-day carnival last year with victory in Friday's $200,000 Inglis Challenge (1100m). 'She has come up terrific,' Robl said. 'I think she has trialled up really well on tracks that aren't really suitable to her. 'She doesn't really like a wet track. 'This prep she is a lot stronger than she was last prep and while she hasn't grown much, she has certainly strengthened up.' • 'I was scrapping': King Zephyr showing former trainer fun side of racing Overfull has won both of her trials in the lead up to her return from a break and will be ridden on Saturday by Damien Thornton. Robl had the option of keeping Overfull in Queensland for the Listed Bright Shadow (1110m) at Doomben but instead elected to head south from his Gold Coast base. 'Those four- and five-year-old mares that are Benchmark 95 horses – Scone compared to Brisbane, she is running against her own age and not taking on those tougher mares,' he said. 'The weather looks better for her and while it's a solid race at Scone, I think she is going to be more competitive on her preparations.'
