2025 GARRARDS THE GOLDEN GIRL (GROUP 1) 1660m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Defending champion EYE KEEP SMILING (2) had to work from a wider barrier last week and looked under threat in the straight but drew on all her strength and class to stretch her winning streak to nine. Faces many of the same rivals and that looked their best chance to beat her as she draws to enjoy better favours tonight so is hard to tip against. WA mare STENO (4) has been ultra consistent through her eastern mission, recording six straight placings without winning. Four of those have been behind Eye Keep Smiling including last week's head defeat from a back row draw. She could push her rival again. TAY TAY (1) worked from a tough barrier last week but draws the ace tonight. She can be competitive from there. RYLEE RHAYNE BOW (5) is good enough to warrant a spot in first four bets as is LUX AETERNA (8) who draws for a nice trail.
