Shayne O'Cass's best bets, inside mail for Scone, Narromine on Monday June 23, 2025
Form analyst Shayne O'Cass provides his best bets and race-by-race analysis for Scone and Narromine on Monday. â– â– â– â– â– BEST BET Race 2 No.5 HERMAN SAID: Kris Lees-housed 2YO who has trialled exceedingly well. NEXT BEST Race 7 No.6 GIRAWHEEN: Placed twice here in qualuity races. Trial indicates a bold return. VALUE Race 6 No.8 MANAGE THE CYCLE: Ran third to Saturday's Highway winner at his last start. QUADDIE Race 4: 4,12 Race 5: 1,2,8,9 Race 6: 8 Race 7: 6 JOCKEY TO FOLLOW Star apprentice Braith Nock is back 'home' at Scone on Monday. Pieronimo is a Triple Crown-owned grandson of the 2YO Triple Crown winner, Pierro. The Archibald (at Scone) housed gelding has run by far, more good races than bad and performed, excelled even, in much better company than this. SO YOU READY (4) was nothing short of emphatic when he shed his maiden status in a 2100m Class 1 at Gosford. Gets Bullock here. DEEMEE (7) is a big improver back at home after visiting Kensington last start with no success. BET: Pieronimo to win. PANTA RHEI (9) is a dual acceptor. Long story short, he is a lightly-raced and talented type. His only two runs at Scone were a second to Sir Remlap and a third to Shropshire Lad. RITZSUN (1) is a Highway-class galloper with some truly compelling numbers. He obviously races well here at home. Pearls Treasure also has a liking for this venue. LADY MEMPHIS (8) was disappointing first-up but could be the sharpest improver on the card. BET: PANTA RHEI (9) to win or of scratched, RITZSUN (1) to win. MANAGE THE CYCLE (8) is a Jeremy Gask-trained local whose winning strike-rate is 10 per cent – four from 40 to be exact – but he has placed nine times. The biggest and best draw to the horse today is that he's run twice at this track/trip and finished third at each; that June 10 one was behind Saturday's Highway winner. HIBIKI HARMONY (5) has far fewer convictions as they say; in fact she has medalled at six of her 10 starts. First time running at home. BET: MANAGE THE CYCLE (8) to win, exacta 8 to beat 5. GIRAWHEEN (6) is a 3YO filly who won the coveted Silver Goblet at Dubbo at her 2YO debut and has barely put a foot wrong in her six starts since. We know that she performs well fresh and the trial win the other day was an absolute beauty. ARCHAIC FORCE (5), the son of NZ Oaks winner Bramble Rose, has been racing well without any luck at all for most of this preparation. His best is as good as most, if not all of these. Ortensia's grandson SOLITARIO (3) is on an upward trajectory. BET: GIRAWHEEN (6) to win, exacta 6 to beat 5, box First 4 Nos. 2,3,5,6,13. â– â– â– â– â– NARROMINE TIPS BEST BET Race 1 No.1 BRUMMAGEN: Form reads superior to most of his rivals. Go well. NEXT BEST Race 4 No.3 MAJOR LIGHTNING: Handed in career best last start at Muswellbrook. Ready to win. VALUE Race 6 No.8 DUPENNY: Winner at only prior start at this track and trip. NARROMINE INSIDE MAIL RACE 4: Country Boosted Maiden Plate (1300m) MAJOR LIGHTNING (3) wears the colours of his multiple stakes-winning (in three states!) dam Avoid Lighting. Like most of his siblings, he is trained by Jeremy Gask who seems to have found him the 'easiest' race he's contested so far. ANDALE (1) is tracking the right way towards the winner's stall. Both runs contained merit and he will love 1300m and more again after that. BET: MAJOR LIGHTNING (3) to win, exacta 3 to beat 1. WEST HEAD (4) is a grandson of the NZ Group 1 winner Calveen which explains his $320,000 price tag at the Gold Coast The son of Pierata made his Brett Robb stable debut at Coonamble last Sunday, coming away late to win with a fair degree of comfort. TRUST A KITTY (7) has only won 1 from 20 but he has placed 10 times and when you give away such big starts, that's a pretty good strike-rate. BET: WEST HEAD (4) to win, TRUST A KITTY (7) to place, quinella 4,7, DD 1st leg 4, 2nd leg 9. DUPENNY (8) is a Brett Thompson-trained galloper whose record here at Narromine is sound; namely three visits for a win and a second. Worth noting that the win was over this same trip in a strong 58 that day with barrier 2. Keep in mind he has barrier 1 this time. THE MOOCH (6) has only kicked 3 goals in his 42 attempts, but he has 10 seconds and six thirds. Most relevant is that one of those rare wins was at the same track and distance. MISS CLAMROSA (9) was probably the biggest moral of the season when she turned up at Warren in that Class 1 on June 2. She was $1.50 into $1.35 and had it won at the turn, final margin was five-and-a-bit lengths. She's a long, long way off moral status this time – it's a cracking field but barrier 1 and Clayton Gallagher will take her a long way closer to victory. Stablemate DEION (2) has box two and never runs anything but a good, honest race.

Ezra Mam's raw admission on Spencer Leniu saga and car crash that causes mass outrage
Broncos star Ezra Mam has opened up about the car crash that left a woman and child injured as well as what was said between him and Spencer Leniu, ending a feud that stemmed from the Las Vegas racism saga. Last October, Mam made headlines for all the wrong reasons after his ute crashed into an Uber at Bardon, just outside of Brisbane injuring a woman and child. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. Mam passed the breathalyser test, but a roadside drug swap returned a positive reading to cocaine. Mam pleaded guilty to one count of driving while relevant drug is present in the blood and driving without a licence. But while the Magistrate was relatively lenient, the NRL was less so. The 22-year-old was slapped with a combined $120,000 in fines from the NRL and the Broncos and was handed a nine-game ban. Speaking about the ordeal, Mam says the whole experience has given him a different outlook on life, acknowledging in hindsight that he was previously very selfish. 'In hindsight, I didn't think about how my actions can impact others,' he said in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald. 'Obviously I'm trying my best to learn from that now, I'm here to make better decisions for myself. There's no excuse for my actions, I've got to own that now. 'I'm still learning to deal with everything. I feel very remorseful for everything that happened. 'For me, I was dealing with stuff in the wrong way. I need to learn from that. That's how I grow as a person. Experiences like this, you can take a lot away from it and I feel like I've taken a lot away from this situation to improve myself in many different ways.' Mam returned to the NRL for the Broncos against the Dragons in round 11 and was back to his scintillating best. Such was the strength of his performances that he was called into Billy Slater's Queensland squad for Origin Game 2. Mam was named 18th man for Game 2. And it incredibly allowed him to put another saga behind him, the feud with Blues enforcer Spencer Leniu. Vision from after Game 2 on Wednesday showed Leniu approach Queensland's 18th man after full-time, with the pair engaging in a brief conversation that ended in an embrace. You can watch the moment in the player at the top of the page. The touching moment showed they have seemingly finally buried the hatched some 16 months after Leniu labelled Mam a 'monkey' in the Las Vegas season opener between the Roosters and Broncos in 2024. Leniu copped an eight-match ban for the slur which he insisted was unintentional and was nothing more than 'one brown man saying something to another brown man'. But in a great show of character, after full-time, Leniu sought out Mam to bury the hatchet and clear the air with the Broncos star. And Mam revealed he has accepted Leniu's apology and says it is all in the past now. 'We were able to have a chat and put everything behind us. I won't go into much detail about what was said, but I'm happy he came up to me and we're able to move forward now and get on with the year,' Mam told SMH.
