Race 3 summary - She has drawn wide but happy to have FLYING BY on top to bounce back to winning ways after a solid couple of runs since her last win. ATTALEA struggled second-up but is worth another each-way chance after a sound first-up run. SAVANNAH GIRL has had five weeks since her last but drops back in class for this and can improve. Check the money on the ex-Victorian BEL ATTRAIT.

Race 4 summary - This isn't the strongest maiden we'll see but it's a good opportunity for AUNTIE SHIRL to break through here after solid runs at both outings this time in. NINO has had a few chances but his last couple of runs have been solid when leading and he can give them something to chase. WANTED TRIO's debut run can be forgiven and he can improve into the each-way money. NEMO DAT has placed a couple of times first-up and can be around the mark in this.
Race 4 tips - 1st: AUNTIE SHIRL (6), 2nd: NINO (12), 3rd: WANTED TRIO (2), 4th: NEMO DAT (14).

Race 5 summary - A very even race with up to half a dozen winning chances but going with CASH TO SPLASH to bounce back to winning form back at this level. ESKIMO KING's second-up run was good last time out and he's one of the chances with the benefit of extra fitness. JESSE 'N' JAMES gave too much start at Narromine but the jump to 1600m should be good for him and he'll be harder to hold out here. YOUR ONE AND ONLY does best at this trip and he drops slightly in class. SPANISH FLY is a rough chance while NORTHERN ACT is capable of better back at this level.
Race 5 tips - 1st: CASH TO SPLASH (6), 2nd: ESKIMO KING (2), 3rd: JESSE 'N' JAMES (7), 4th: YOUR ONE AND ONLY (9).

Race 6 summary - REAL BLONDE hit the line well to score in a similar race last time but looks to have enough speed on to repeat that effort here. TRACK FLASH has had a month since racing wide and boxing on OK last time and should get an easier run from the good gate here. FAIRY FRAGMENTS has been consistent at her last three outings and will be around the mark again here. YES ZARIZ has gone OK at his last couple of runs at Scone and can be thereabouts here. QUIETLY CONFIDENT was fair at Dubbo last time but drops in class here.
Race 6 tips - 1st: REAL BLONDE (5), 2nd: TRACK FLASH (3), 3rd: FAIRY FRAGMENTS (10), 4th: YES ZARIZ (4).
