Campbell Brown & Cam Luke have your Friday sorted on Trackside.
The lads have taken a close look at Scone, Kilmore, Albury, Cairns & Albany in a bid to find the family some winners.
See their best bets below:👇
Campbell Brown
SCONE
Race 4 | 2. Dr Hook
Makes home track debut today for team Cavanough. Led them up and last start and beat all home except priory park. Has been competitive in G2 races last prep. Similar tactics today, second up will take some catching.
KILMORE
Race 4 | 8. Tennesseetwopiece
Debut run was good but had no luck. Last start drew wide and worked and fatigued late. Maskiell will take him to the front and try control things here and should be fitter third up. Good each-way bet.
ALBURY
Race 3 | 4. Just Hear Me Out
Didn't quiet finish off last start from wide barrier. Draws barrier one today, drops slightly in trip and should do no work in the run.
CAIRNS
Race 5 | 1. Verbalize
Won first up for new trainer last start and no reason can't do it again today. Likes the sting out of the ground which it gets today with a heavy track. Claiming apprentice sticks and should sit just off speed and get going late.
ALBANY
Race 2 | 8. Enchanted Miss
First up for new stable. Willie Pike has trialled this horse up and it has been impressive winning last two trials. He rides today from a good barrier. Could be the class first up.
Cam Luke
SCONE
Race 3 | 12. Bird Whistle ($10 win) / 12. Bird Whistle - 3. Mister Rizz Exacta $10) = $20 outlay
She just runs in much better races than this and now gets a chance to finally win again. She wasn’t too bad I the Hawks Guineas where leader dominated. Before that she was right on the back on Plaintiff and Nepo Baby. Drawn really nicely here to stalk the speed and gets back to 1600 for 2nd time. 1st time was in a group race behind Green Spaces which is great form for this! $2.50 feels right and she will be very hard to beat! Former import Mr Rizz the danger, take the quinella!
Race 5 | 7. Jasira ($10 win)
Speed map bet here mainly because the fave is drawn soooo badly! She was placed very well to break her maiden last start and this is harder but heading back to Scone will suit her! Will be able to stalk the speed and with the other dangers drawn badly as I said, I think this filly will be very hard to beat!
Race 6 | 6. Seastraand ($10 each-way) = $20 outlayA little softness probably would help this girl but I can tell you back to the 1300 certainly will. Easier race and less pressure up forward will allow her get into a groove. She'll find the fence her rather than OSL and that will help also. The form from last start has held up and I expect her to run well here back to a suitable trip and has been well placed. Wel over the odds at $11 and a great each way play!
Race 7 | 15. Imperialist ($10 each-way) = $20 outlayWas really good resuming in worst part of the track in Hawkesbury Cup. He went back from a bad gate and never ever really had a chance with the way the race was run. Drawn much better today to be closer and had no weight again. Back to back at the Mile works as well as the good track. Speed should be ok and he will enjoy that also. Certainly over the odds at $17 and a great each way play!
Race 8 | 15. Shotgun Bella ($10 win) = $10 outlayComes out of the right from race in town and K Mac goes back on. She was worked early to lead and then went to get a breather and probably lost her groove. Held on pretty well behind and in front of horses who have won since. There is a bit of speed so can take the sit today if wanted from a nice gate. Back in trip helps and also really nicely weighted. Very hard to beat!
Entire outlay = $420
KILMORE
Race 5 | 1. Captain Barbossa
Found them a tad too slick resuming and now up to the 1600 works a lot better. Little toe into the ground is a bonus as well. The two at the top of the market wll ensure speed as CB will get back and needs pace. Will need a little luck as he will need momentum but if he gets it will be very hard to stop late!
Race 6 | 7. Parvati Party
Race wasn’t really run to suit last start and she still hit the line really well. Her second up form is really good and will appreciate getting to the 2000. Ran in some nice races In town last prep getting over distance. Morisu Ojo is fave here and even though it beat PP home last start, it did now work from inside gate. Not the case today. Soft track a big bonus as well and I expect the Party to win what is a good competitive race.  
ALBURY
Race 3 | 1. Kendalia
Absolutely should have won last start resuming in a race that was won by Brutal Belle who today is deep in the market in a nice race at Scone. He will be fitter for that today and hopefully lets a covered trail giving him clean air when he needs it. I have a smidge concern over staying at similar trip (1200>1175) but it wont beat him. Two back he was really good behind Autumn Break and that’s great from for this.
Race 7 | 4. Arthur The Great
IF he gets luck from the bad gate he will be too good. We will know within a furlong. Was really good last start in Wagga and that was tougher than this. He does have the speed to cross but he isn’t the inly one with early toe. Good track helps him a lot. Always runs well here on the home track and runs well 4th up. The horse us ready to win but the barrier gods asked the Q. If he answers them with good fortune, he will win!
SCONE EARLY QUADDIE
$192 for 100%
1,3,6,7,8,9 - Open race, Flirtation debuts and will be very hard to top after trialling well. Bullocks stays on and drawn well but couple of these were ok on debut and will be better for it. Open race so playing it conservative.
1,2,5,10 - Agraffe Rocket has been in tougher races than this and has trailed up 3 times and all good. In saying that this is very open race and there are a couple who have claims (Rustemo trialled well) Royal Botanic fit horse and will enjoy 1300 3rd up) Leovanni (home track and trialled really well) If I was pushed id back Rocket but im not simply hoping for EQ staying alive.
3,12 - Have backed Bird Whistle (see below) but everyone else is tipping Mr Rizz and his overseas from stacks up! Both go in!
2,4,5,16 - Have backed Lord Elrond and think will go very close. I have included 2 debutants as they both have trialled well. Barriers a concern for both but expect at some point they will win a race soon. Ive added thr fave Dr Hook out of respect from his run at Flem a couple back. Was meh last start but quicker backup helps here. I couldn’t back him with Bakes's cash at $2.50 though!
SCONE QUADDIE
$120 for 100%
7,10 - Really like Jasira but the money for Chains of Love means it has to go in. Probably classiest horse in race but barrier is horrible but market suggests it won't matter. I beg to differ but has to go in!
5,6,12,14 - Have backed Seastraand each way but a host of chances. I have left out Ponteverde but Browny owns him and said he can’t win. Blame him if it wins!
1,7,12,15,18 - Open Cup and a few chances but I have backed Imperialist each way! Was really good resuming in worst part of the track in Hawksbury Cup.
7,10,15 - Open race to end it with 3 main chances. I've backed Shotgun Bella!
