2025 PRINCESS OF THE BAY 1780m

Track: GOOD      

Perth mare STENO (7) is desperate to win one after seconds in all four starts of her eastern mission, the last three when chasing home gun mare Eye Keep Smiling. Dodges that rival tonight and draws for a nice trail so this could be her chance. RYLEE RHAYNE BOW (1) will enjoy the return to her own sex having taken on some smart male rivals at her last couple. Draws for a gun run so won't be easy to beat. PANDAIA (4) has had tough draws at her last couple since leading from a similar barrier for a Menangle win. Group winner whose best is up to this. Not a great draw for CHYNCHILLA (11) but she is a reliable mare with string of wins and placings to her name so must be respected.

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start 7th (Fr4) over 2138m after showing early pace at Albion Park beaten 12 m by Call To Order (2:31.10) in 3-4yo G2 No NR on June 21 at $10. The run previous 6th (Fr3) over 2138m after showing early pace at Albion Park, beaten 7 m by Path To Greatness (2:33.50) in 3-4yo No NR on June 14 at $15. Suited back against her own sex and draws to advantage.

First up. At the last run she posted a big 3.5 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Albion Park (1:55.70) beating Diamond Shooz in No NR M on March 1 at $1.80 at the bell was leading 3.9m on the pegs. Draws nicely but best figures should see her go well.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr1) over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 18 m by Eye Keep Smiling (1:55.50) in No NR M on June 21 at $101. Before that was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr5) over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 3.5 m by Golden Fire (1:57.20) in No NR M on June 14 at $41. This looks a tough task.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Eye Keep Smiling at Menangle over 1609m in a LR No NR M on June 7 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Eye Keep Smiling at Albion Park over 1660m in a No NR M on June 21 at $7. Gets her chance to win one.

Last start 3rd (Fr3) over 2090m after showing early speed at Hobart beaten 7 m by Watermelon Sugar (2:34.30) in NR 70 to 79 on May 4 at $3.50. Two runs back 7th (Fr5) over 2090m after showing early speed at Hobart beaten 30 m by Beat Sweet (2:32.50) in 4yo+ LR No NR M on March 22 at $17. Not as keen on her chances in this line-up.

Comes here second-up after two weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Fr7) over 1660m at Albion Park beaten 35 m by Golden Fire (1:57.20) in No NR M on June 14 at $34. Unlikely to threaten against this field.

Last start game effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1660m at Albion Park, beaten 10 m by Eye Keep Smiling (1:55.50) in No NR M on June 21 at $23. Two runs back won by a neck as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Albion Park (1:56.20) beating The Vicar Of Dibley in No NR M on June 7 at $1.75. Tricky draw but is capable of playing a major role.
