Scone Racing Tips for Friday, July 31st 2026

Ended

We have expert betting tips for racing at Scone on Friday, which includes eight races at the quality meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the New South Wales meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (12:30) Arrowfield Maiden (1100m)

#8 - First Embrace @ $2.50

BET NOW

First Embrace has shown good speed at the trials, and all eyes are on the $775,000 purchase for Arrowfield.

The three-year-old filly by Snitzel looked good when winning a trial at Muswellbrook, and she is bred to be better than the opposition here.

We expect the $2.50 odds to shorten on race day.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (13:05) Magic Millions Maiden (900m)

#1 - Excels @ $2.30

BET NOW

Excels is a former Victorian who finished second at Seymour last time out, and her trial form since has looked good.

The three-year-old daughter of Exceed and Excel comes off a trial win at Gosford, and she looks ready to exit maiden grades.

2kg comes off her back, which should be enough to take her close.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (13:40) Muswellbrook Ford BM58 (1000m)

#6 - Yes to Infinity @ $2.50

BET NOW

After opening at $2, Yes to Infinity has drifted to $2.50, but he should prove tough to beat after a professional debut outing.

The three-year-old son of Yes Yes Yes paid $1.65 when winning on debut at Scone, and we like the form out of that meeting.

Aaron Bullock rides, which adds to our confidence levels.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (14:15) Stevens Group Maiden (1300m)

#8 - Courthezon @ $2.70

BET NOW

Courthezon was no match for Peace Bird last start, but he didn’t get all favours in the run.

The two-year-old colt by Captivant shouldn’t lose any admirers for that performance, and his odds have firmed after opening at $3.10.

He is another favourite with a good winning hope at Scone.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 5. (14:50) Darley BM58 (1200m)

#5 - Need a Miracle @ $8.00

BET NOW

Looking to score a fresh up win is Need a Miracle, who won at Armidale in January before heading for a spell.

The six-year-old son of Divine Prophet owns three wins and nine placings from 29 starts, including a win at Scone, which is a good form guide.

Braith Nock rides, and he’s having a good season, so that adds to our confidence.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:25) Coolmore C1 (1600m)

#8 - Valedor @ $3.60

BET NOW

Valedor looked good when winning on debut at Muswellbrook, and although beaten last start, he could bounce back.

The three-year-old son of Street Boss was a beaten $1.55 favourite at Gunnedah, but he should appreciate running at Scone with a longer straight.

The $3.60 odds are worth including, especially with Bullock riding.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (16:05) NSW Country Rugby Union Cockatoos BM66 (1700m)

#3 - Feazebeel @ $2.35

BET NOW

We backed Feazebeel when he scored an easy win at Goulburn, and his winning form could continue to end the season.

The three-year-old son of Cool Aza Beel now owns two wins and three placings from nine starts, and it’s good to see Alysha Collett retain the ride.

Scone should suit his racing pattern, so back him with confidence.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (16:45) NSW Country Rugby Union Corellas C2 (1300m)

#2 - Bolt Away Now @ $4.20

BET NOW

Looking to make a winning start to the preparation is Bolt Away Now, who owns three placings from four first-up starts.

The five-year-old owns two wins and six placings overall, which is a tidy record, and most of those came on good racing surfaces.

The $4.20 could firm on race day, so include her in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit
