Albion Park Race 6 - 2025 Garrards The Golden Girl (Group 1)
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.

Last start 6th (Sr2) over 1660m at this track beaten 5.5 m by Eye Keep Smiling (1:54.70) in LR No NR M on July 12 at $26. At the start before was well back in the run when 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 6 m by Montalbano (1:51.20) in No NR on July 5 at $8. Can figure prominently from a better draw.

Good performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Rylee Rhayne Bow at Redcliffe over 1780m in a No NR M on June 28 at $2. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Eye Keep Smiling at this track over 1660m in a LR No NR M on July 12 at $11. Racing well and the favourable draws sees her as the main theat.
