Tips and race-by-race guide for Scone on Tuesday
Selections based on a soft track. 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.

Smith mounts triple assault on Scone midweek meeting
Matthew Smith will send a strong team of three runners to Scone on Tuesday with the Warwick Farm trainer out to continue his winning form after a Randwick triumph on Saturday. Smith will link with leading apprentice Anna Roper when she partners Lady Memphis in the Agnes Marshall Class 1 Handicap (900m), while Ashley Morgan will have the reins on Omaha Sand in the Heather Ashford Maiden Handicap (1300m) and Dubai Warrior in the Coolmore Class 1 & Maiden Plate (1600m). 'The team have all been running well of late,' Smith said. 'There's no reason that will stop now.' Lady Memphis is a filly by Invader that has only had two starts. She ran second behind top-class performer and The TAB Everest contender Private Harry on debut. She backed that up with a dominant on pace triumph at Goulburn when racing on the speed and fighting on too strongly. She's had two trials leading into this resuming effort. Omaha Sand is also resuming from a spell after three barrier trials. He's had three starts and has been unplaced in each of them and hasn't raced since December when finishing down the track at Newcastle. 'He's had two barrier trials leading into this first-up run,' Smith said.
