Scales Of Justice will head to the Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington

Memsie Stakes winner Scales Of Justice looks set to take on boom mare Mystic Journey in the Group One Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington on September 14.

Trainer Lindsey Smith said on Twitter that they would be taking it “one race at a time” with the 7-year-old but had opted to continue on after recovering well from his Memsie Stakes run.

“Scales Of Justice has pulled up so well following his Grand Final win in the G1 Memsie Stakes last Saturday, that we have decided to stay in Warrnambool” Smith said.

Connections were reportedly weighing up whether to head to the Makybe Diva or freshen him up for a homecoming at the Ascot carnival.

Scales Of Justice ($5.00) sits on the second line of betting in the Makybe Diva Stakes, behind Mystic Journey at $1.65.
