Menangle Race 5 - Pryde's Exceptional Always Robin Dundee Stakes (Listed Classic)
Exciting mare TOKYO ROSE NZ (7) came from this barrier to beat race rival EYE KEEP SMILING by 1.6m last start, stretching her unbeaten record at this circuit and distance to four. Had had six weeks off since but is big on talent and has the early speed to push forward. Looks the one to beat. EYE KEEP SMILING (10) has been racing well without winning this season but a recent trial win suggests she is in good shape. Draws deep but expect she'll be close to her peak with her Queen Elizabeth II Mile title defence looming next week. COOL AND CLASSY (3) returns to Sydney having won her last four starts in Brisbane on either side of a spell and the last time she raced here she won the NSW Oaks. Draws to get her chance. POST PAINTER NZ (4) faces a class test against some top mares but she has been progressing well in Brisbane.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track was 9th-17.82 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Steno (1:53.80) in LR No NR M on April 18 at $41. Two runs back 4th (Sr1) over 2270m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 5 m by Gunna Reload (2:40.70) in 4-5yo LR No NR M on April 4 at $8. Not keen.

Brings the right form to the table. Posted a big 7 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (1:51.60) beating Farfalla Stride in NR up to 75 M on April 18 at $1.85 at the bell was leading 1.73. Two runs back 2nd (Sr1) over 1650m after being wide early at Bendigo was 2nd-1.73 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Keayang Sweetheart (1:54.80) in 2-3 WINS on April 8 at $2.10. This may prove too much of a step up.

Racing consistently. Last start won by a nose as favourite (Fr3) at Albion Park (1:54.70) beating Tremendous Sensation in 4yo+ No NR M on April 11 at $1.55. Up in grade but she has been racing well in Queensland so could measure up.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track was 7th-11.46 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Steno (1:53.80) in LR No NR M on April 18 at $12. At the run before 7th (Fr6) over 2270m after showing early pace at Riverina Paceway, at the bell was leading 2.2 beaten 55 m by Gunna Reload (2:47.10) in 4-5yo No NR M on March 27 at $1.60. Capable of more than she has shown recently. Capable of better.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track was 4th-6.36 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Steno (1:53.80) in LR No NR M on April 18 at $8.50. Showed ability the race before when she won by a head (Sr1) at Bathurst (2:01.60) beating Smooth Buzz in No NR on April 15 at $15 at the bell was 5th-7.97. Could get into the finish.

Six-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:50.60) beating Eye Keep Smiling in NR up to 95 M on March 14 at $2. Smart mare who can maintain her perfect record at this circuit and distance

Improved last start with a good run when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m after being wide early at this track beaten 1.5 m by Tokyo Rose (1:50.60) in NR up to 95 M on March 14 at $2. Quality mare who is good enough to overcome the wide barrier with her best form.
