Menangle Race 7 - Prydes Easifeed Queen Elizabeth Ii Mile (Group 1)
EYE KEEP SMILING (10) has become one of the best and most reliable mares in the country having stretched her winning streak to five by coming from this barrier and racing wide before taking out last week's Robin Dundee by 4m. That added to an impressive strike rate at this distance and while she may have to work again she is good enough to do it and win. RAKERO REBEL (5) did a great job to come from wider than EYE KEEP SMILING for second last week. Has won four of seven at this distance and a lower draw gives her the chance to turn the tables. SWEET BELLA (6) was an eye-catcher when showing good improvement to place last week. She is unbeaten in three third-up attempts so should be peaking. SWEETNIKKILOU (1) hasn't had a lot of luck of late, drawing out and racing parked when only 4m away last start. Draws to enjoy better favours tonight. PANDAIA (3) took a big step up with her last-start Sibelia Stakes win from a wider barrier so deserves respect from the low draw.

Fair last start; 5th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 9th-19.2 beaten 10 m by Eye Keep Smiling (1:49.80) in G3 No NR M on May 3 at $8.50. Showed ability the run before when she won by 2 m (Sr1) at Melton (2:38.50) beating Jilliby Nitro in No NR on April 19 at $13 at the bell was 8th-13.43. Exotic claims from a good draw.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Rakero Rebel at Melton over 2240m in a No NR on April 12 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Eye Keep Smiling at this track over 1609m in a G3 No NR M on May 3 at $5.50. Rates highly. Nice effort last start and is unbeaten when third-up so could peak.

Racing up the wins. Posted a big 4 m win as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr8) held up early, at this track (1:49.80) beating Rakero Rebel in G3 No NR M on May 3 at $1.90 at the bell was 2nd-0.73. Two runs back posted a big 7 m win as favourite (Sr3) at Riverina Paceway (2:42.20) beating Ever Art in 4-5yo LR No NR M on April 19 at $1.15. High class mare in strong form so rates as the one to beat.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Pandaia at this track over 1609m G3 No NR M last start. Before that was beaten a head second at Pinjarra over 1684m in No NR M on March 17. Has to be included despite the wide draw.
