Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 28 Journalists Share Posted August 28 Mr Brightside, pictured winning the Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington Racecourse on September last year, is one of the key hopes for the 2024 Memsie Stakes. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) A quality field of eight are set to line up in the Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m), with Mr Brightside drawing perfectly in search of back-to-back wins in the $750,000 feature at Caulfield on Saturday afternoon. The Lindsay Park gelding has drawn barrier four with Craig Williams in the saddle, giving the six-time Group 1 winner plenty of options in transit. Pride Of Jenni should have no issues slotting into her regular leading role after drawing out in barrier seven, with the seven-year-old likely to be sent across to the front under Declan Bates. Queensland raider Antino will need to slot in for cover from barrier six, with Jamie Kah set to take the reins after associating with the Tony Gollan-trained galloper in a recent jump-out at Cranbourne on August 19. Group 2 P.B. Lawrence Stakes (1400m) winner Gentleman Roy looks likely to track across with Pride Of Jenni after drawing barrier eight, while Aegon should get the opportunity to sit closer from barrier one in his quest to turn the tables. Pinstriped comes through the same form-line and should get every opportunity to claim Group 1 glory from stall three, while Bandersnatch (2) and Vagrant (5) are both second-up after being unplaced in the Listed Regal Roller (1200m) on August 17. The Group 1 Memsie Stakes is the penultimate race on the Caulfield program and scheduled to get underway at 4:45pm local time. 2024 Memsie Stakes Final Field 1.
