CLUB MENANGLE EYE KEEP SMILING LADYSHIP STAKES (LISTED CLASSIC) 1609m

Track: FAST      

EYE KEEP SMILING (10) made it six wins on the trot last start when she won a Group One over 1609m at this track by a nose as the odds-on favourite after racing outside the leader for most of the trip. Another win is on the cards. STENO (9) lines up in an easier race after being edged out last start by the top selection in a Group One over 1609m at this track. Another big performance is on the cards. BELLA DANZA (1) comes here fresh from a fourth of 10 a week ago over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.75 metres. Tough to beat from an ideal draw. PANDAIA (7) comes here fresh from success a week ago over 1609m at this track, scoring by a neck after trailing the leader into the straight. Has place prospects.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Eye Keep Smiling at this track over 1609m in a G1 No NR M on May 10 at $151. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind No Heart Throb at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on May 24 at $5. Sure to play a big role.
