Le Pine Funerals (Bm70)
Lightly raced Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained threeyear-old Scholarly followed his win in a Maiden (1700m) at Warrnambool on 25 June at his fourth race start with another good win here. He again went to the front, travelling comfortably, was challenged rounding the home turn and again at the 200m but kept lifting gamely under pressure, proving too good in the closing stages to win nicely, running the 1800m out well. He looks suited to further still and is a promising young stayer.
