GOING: G

Ladbrokes Scarborough Stakes 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Abundant early pace from Bold Bastille and Sassy Jenni vying for the lead with Chateau Miraval on their backs. ENEEZA (1) looks very well treated at the set weights here fresh. Two starts ago she beat Lady Of Camelot in the G2 Percy Sykes two starts ago at Randwick. She brings the top class 2yo form and draws for every chance. TOBEORNOTTOBE (5) stuck on well considering she was up the inside at Flemington fresh which wasn't the place to be. She beat Ameena over this trip before a spell which reads well. ZEITUNG (7) has been running well against the Sydney fillies and we've seen that form hold up well in Melbourne so far. Must respect. BOLD BASTILLE (2) stuck on well at Flemington although 1200m remains a query. No knock on BELLATRIX STAR (3) who won the Flemington race, albeit aided by a perfect ride. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eneeza to win.
