Rastafarian will compete in a class 2 showcase handicap over 1100m with Ben Looker aboard the four year old gelding jumping from barrier 4.
Last time out the runner finished second of 11/1100 m two weeks ago at Coonamble, when competing in a class two with Ben Looker aboard.
He will likely race on the speed and is in, consistent form of late winning or placing in four of his last five.
He does have a liking for the distance and a solid effort would not surprise.
Best of luck to all connected here at Scone on Friday.
