Scenic Point continued her flawless start to racing with a commanding victory at Caulfield, giving the Lindsay Park team of Ben, Will, and J D Hayes plenty to look forward to ahead of the spring.

Fresh off a winning debut at Pakenham, the filly stepped up in class to the Listed Redoute’s Choice Stakes (1100m) and showed her class once again, outpacing her rivals with ease.

Under Daniel Stackhouse, the $1.40 favourite dropped back to last in the small field before unleashing a powerful finish to score by a length.

Following the race, a protest was lodged by Jye McNeil, who rode Aleppo Pine ($3.90) to third. The objection against second-placed Mednyi ($15) was upheld by the stewards after a brief inquiry.

Speaking after the win, Will Hayes noted Scenic Point’s developing mindset.

“She got a little bit hot in the pre-parade which was a little bit different to Pakenham,” Hayes said.

“She’s certainly waking up and is on a big learning curve. I felt today, what she did, was on raw ability and there’s plenty of upside.”

The Hayes team will assess their options early next week, with a meeting scheduled to determine the next move for the exciting filly.

While she wasn’t ready earlier this year for races like the Blue Diamond Stakes or Golden Slipper, there are signs that she’s developing into something special.

“We’ll be guided by how she pulls up, but the way she won today you wouldn’t hesitate to go to Sydney, but you also wouldn’t hesitate to put her in the paddock and protect her for the spring,” Hayes said.

“I think she’s a Thousand Guineas type.

“She’s one of those hamburgers with the lot at this stage. She’s shown she can sprint, and she might get out to a middle distance as well.

“She’s got a big frame. She screams three-year-old type and what she has done now is an absolute bonus.

“It’s all based on potential, but what we see is a very talented galloper.”
