Scarborough Stakes 2024 Preview
Track: Good 4 Weather: Cloudy
Eneeza resumes from a break. Should be tough to stave off fresh and has the services of Damian Lane from the good draw. Geegees Mistruth ran above market expectation last start and commands respect off that. Bold Bastille was sound fresh and does look nicely placed against this lot. Tobeornottobe is lightly raced and well placed from the kind barrier. Bellatrix Star beat Bold Bastille and looks a major player to go right on with things here.
2024 Scarborough Stakes Runner by Runner
1. Eneeza (3)
Class runner who resumes off a break and is drawn to get favours from barrier 3. Lane booked first up signals intent and this race is within reach.
2. Bold Bastille (13)
Maps for a trick run from the draw but was solid first up and should be strips fitter for the return. Suited on the track and goes in the mix against these at what looks back able odds.
3. Bellatrix Star (8)
Had the better of Bold Bastille last run but did have the fitness edge. Place chance in this field.
4. Geegees Mistruth (4)
Big run to go under by half a length last start behind Drifting which is superb form for this. Maps well and commands big respect off the back of last run.
5. Tobeornottobe (5)
Comes out of the same race as the 2 and the 3 in this and maps for a tidy run from barrier 5. Can improve with the run under the belt and has won over this trip.
6. Matisse (11)
Brings in some very tidy form lines from last prep and is a big market watch here in what is a highly competitive race. Wasn’t far off Lady Of Camelot at the end of last prep and that reads super here.
7. Zeitung (12)
Wasn’t far off 2 promising speedsters last run and brings in some very good form to this deep race. The draw is the concern but does have the ability.
8. Chateau Miraval (9)
Can’t have.
9. In Her Eyes (6)
Prefer others.
10. Sassy Jenni (2)
This looks too tough.
11. Benagil (1)
Maps for a good run from barrier 1 and undefeated to date. Has been met with solid market support and Shinn is ideal for its chances.
12. Another Prophet (10)
Can’t have.
13. Savagery Vibe (7)
Scratched.
