Menangle Race 5 - Club Menangle Eye Keep Smiling Ladyship Stakes (Listed Classic)
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.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 2nd (Fr8) over 1609m at this track was 2nd-1.59 at the bell, beaten 1.4 m by Carrera Sunset (1:51.60) in NR up to 85 M on May 31 at $5. Two runs back won by 1.5 m when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (1:50.90) beating Maria Allegonda in NR up to 90 M on May 17 at $4.20. Others read better. This will test.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 1.4 m when quickly away, (Fr6) at this track (1:51.60) beating Ever Art in NR up to 85 M on May 31 at $3.60 at the bell was 4th-6.63. Despite winning form this is likely to prove too tough.

Comes here second-up after five weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when was well back in the run when 10th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track well beaten by Eye Keep Smiling (1:49.80) in G3 No NR M on May 3 at $26. Rough place hope at best.

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.

In good form last start. Won by a nose as favourite (Fr8) at this track (1:49.30) beating Steno in G1 No NR M on May 10 at $1.90.

Capable of a strong showing.
