Form analyst Nic Ashman’s best bet this weekend comes in the Group 3 Dark Jewel Classic (1400m) for the mares at Scone’s feature Saturday meeting.
SCONE R9 N9 SURFIN BIRD
“Made huge progression last preparation and she just went too slow on pace when resuming. More tempo here will suit,” Ashman said.
“She’s a high cruising speed mare that looks too good for these.”
The top price around for SURFIN BIRD as of Friday afternoon was $3.20.
Nic’s tips are striking at 49% since the beginning of 2024 with 38 collects from 77 selections.
