G1 VRC Derby winner PRIZED ICON lines up in this year's Scone Guineas for James Cummings and the big question is, can he win back to 1400m after a tough Derby run? His recent trial was quite sharp and the midfield effort in the G2 Hobartville earlier in the Autumn was good enough to go very close here. The horses you know are primed for the distance include CALANDA (no luck at Hawkesbury, ideally placed third-up), MR SNEAKY (strong Melbourne form) and even BARBASS second-up. If those few fail the race really opens up, UBATUBA and FRANCE better back on dry, DALMATIA PRINCE in career best form and CRITICAL THINKING on the way up (still a touch green). It's hard to get excited about SPRIGHT after the Hawkesbury run, her best form is good enough. THAAD Blinkers FIRST TIME, Winkers OFF FIRST TIME. [updated 8:45am]
