Menangle Race 9 - Condell Park Produce Ladyship Pace
EYE KEEP SMILING (7) was far from disgraced when midfield against the boys in a Miracle Mile qualifier last week. She'll enjoy the return to her own sex having placed against the mares in her other three starts this time in, coming from the back row for third to the flying Captains Mistress in the G1 Queen of the Pacific two back. Has a terrific strike rate at this circuit and distance so can return to the winners' list. TOKYO ROSE NZ (6) wasn't too far off EYE KEEP SMILING when fourth in the Queen of the Pacific in their only clash. She has won her other three Australian starts, all of them at this circuit and distance and by big margins. Huge danger. THE VICAR OF DIBLEY NZ (5) was hampered by a flat tyre here last start so can do better. Big class jump for FARFALLA STRIDE (3) but she is in form with back-to-back wins and strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance.

Last start 2nd (Fr5) over 2240m after showing early pace at Melton, at the bell was leading 2.08 beaten a head by Madrigal (2:41.20) in Up to 80 on March 6 at $2.10. Two runs back posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite (Fr6) at Newcastle (1:53.40) beating Rocknroll Gig in NR up to 60 on February 27 at $1.65. Hard to enthuse in this field.

Hard to fault of late. Last start by 8 m as favourite (Fr7) at this track (1:49.20) beating Ripples in NR up to 85 M on February 28 at $1.50 at the bell was leading 7.81. Three from three at this circuit and distance and is a big chance to maintain that perfect record.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr3) over 1609m after racing wide at this track, at the bell was 9th-15.16 beaten 6 m by The Janitor (1:49.30) in No NR on March 7 at $26. Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Sr3) over 2760m at Melton, beaten 25 m by Captains Mistress (3:15.90) in G1 No NR M on February 14 at $8.50. Quality mare who gets her chance to return to the winners' list.
