Scottish (Charlie Appleby/James Doyle) could head to Australia later this year following a comprehensive win in the 10-furlong Listed bet365 Stakes at Newbury, UK, on Saturday, July 16.
The four-year-old, third on his seasonal return in the G3 Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown Park on May 26, made all of the running to readily beat Berkshire by a length and three-quarters in 2m 7.23s on good to firm ground.
Charlie Appleby said: "It was a great performance from Scottish and we came to Newbury very confident. Conditions suited us in terms of ground and trip, and he has come on for his run at Sandown.
"The plan was always to potentially go down to Australia with him. We will see whether to give him another run beforehand but we want to go down there for the Cox Plate or possibly the Mackinnon Stakes."
