AU - Scone - Race 2

REELFLARE (2) sets the standard after going within a long neck of Imperial Code at Kembla Grange, and that provincial placing looks strong enough for a Mdn at Scone. She was also sound on debut at Newcastle, so her profile is building the right way third-up, with first-time blinkers adding another positive. SHANTI (3) was much sharper at Beaumont (Newcastle), beaten just over a length by Stunning Future, though the new 1m test keeps her a shade below the top pair. MOONGLEAM (5) improved into third at Muswellbrook and has placed on her only wet-track run, giving her a solid minor-placing profile if she holds that second-up improvement. POST MARK (1) debut placing gives him some hope, but he was beaten as favourite last start and tackles 1m for the first time. Watch for any market confidence.
