1print Scarborough Stakes (G3)
In a surprise result with two $41 chances fighting out the finish, the Robbie Griffiths-trained filly Selenia prevailed narrowly despite a wide run. Racing in blinkers for the first time, she was smartly away from barrier nine and after working she settled in third place (trapped three wide without cover). She got to the front on straightening and although tiring, had enough in hand to score, despite a difficult trip. Stop Making Sense went back from her wide barrier (10) and settled a clear last in the 12-horse field. She looked for a run on straightening, got a split at the 100m and then came with a strong run for a late-closing second in very promising first-up effort. Merriest began well from her wide barrier (11), settled in seventh place (three wide with cover). She was under pressure at the home turn, got to second at the 100m and then battled on well to hold the minor placing. The favourite My Country raced in ninth place, wide with cover, but was under riding nearing the home turn. She then kept making ground, without threatening, to finish (1.5 lengths) sixth.
