Seven-year-old Scales Of Justice records second Group 1 win in Memsie

Age is no barrier to success and seven-year-old Scales Of Justice proved just that when roaring to a three-quarter length success in the New Zealand Bloodstock Memsie Stakes, one of Australia's top weight-for-age contests.

Begood Toya Mother led the field in the early stages with the Lindsey Smith-trained Scales Of Justice prominent under Dean Yendall. In contrast, Alizee was settled towards the rear with Humidor.

Scales Of Justice was in the perfect position to pounce as the leader tired and picked up well to score, with the enigmatic So Si Bon running on towards the centre of the track to grab second. Alizee picked up strongly for Damien Oliver but could only manage third.

Former British-trained galloper and veteran Hartnell ran another solid race, running on strongly up the rail under Craig Williams to snatch fourth.

It was a second top-flight victory for Scales Of Justice, a son of Not A Single Doubt, who won the Railway Stakes over a mile as a four-year-old.
