Shane Scriven has appealed a careless riding suspension and has been granted a stay of proceedings to enable him to ride Scenic Shot in the Group Two Sandown Classic on Saturday.

Scriven was charged and found guilty by stewards of careless riding aboard Southerly Impact at Doomben last Saturday.

He was suspended for seven meetings and would have missed the Classic ride on Scenic Shot had he not appealed.

Scriven has had a successful association with Scenic Shot winning the Group One Doomben Cup, Group Two O'Shea Stakes and Group Two Brisbane Cup aboard the Perth galloper during the Brisbane winter carnival.

The pair were reunited in Melbourne this spring when they combined to win the Group One Mackinnon Stakes at Flemington on October 31.

Scenic Shot is expected to start one of the favourites in the Sandown Classic (2400m) which will be the final meeting of the Melbourne spring carnival.
