Glyn Schofield will be able to ride Avilius in the Group One Metropolitan after an impassioned plea for leniency on a careless riding charge.
Schofield was outed for a shift on Avilius whose win in Saturday's Kingston Town Stakes earned him $2.80 favouritism for the Metropolitan on September 29.
He will miss the ride on Home Of The Brave in the Group One Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield next Saturday.
