Matthew Smith will send a strong team of three runners to Scone on Tuesday with the Warwick Farm trainer out to continue his winning form after a Randwick triumph on Saturday.
Smith will link with leading apprentice Anna Roper when she partners Lady Memphis in the Agnes
Marshall Class 1 Handicap (900m), while Ashley Morgan will have the reins on Omaha Sand in the
Heather Ashford Maiden Handicap (1300m) and Dubai Warrior in the Coolmore Class 1 & Maiden
Plate (1600m).

“The team have all been running well of late,” Smith said. “There’s no reason that will stop now.”
Lady Memphis is a filly by Invader that has only had two starts. She ran second behind top-class performer and The TAB Everest contender Private Harry on debut.
She backed that up with a dominant on pace triumph at Goulburn when racing on the speed and
fighting on too strongly.
She’s had two trials leading into this resuming effort.
Omaha Sand is also resuming from a spell after three barrier trials.
He’s had three starts and has been unplaced in each of them and hasn’t raced since December when
finishing down the track at Newcastle.
“He’s had two barrier trials leading into this first-up run,” Smith said.
