RACE 7

STENO (5) was an incredibly impressive winner last time out when sitting off the speed and running down Tokyo Rose and Sally Bigtime who has much more favourable runs on the pegs rating a brilliant 1.49.4 mile rate. She has previously shown she loves racing at this track having run third behind her now stablemate Eye Keep Smiling in the Golden Girl last year. She seems to do her best work when saved up for one run in her races but may be able to do some work early in this race to find a more prominent position on the speed. 

TOKYO ROSE (7) led last start and set a frantic tempo out in front when appearing to get a touch too keen. She kicked clear turning for home and got a touch tired late although she was certainly entitled to given the sectionals she’d run out in front when carving out a 1.49 mile rate. She appears likely to find the front again in this race despite the wide draw and she should run well again. 

EYE KEEP SMILING (6) trialled up very sharply in a recent Albion Park trial rating a 1.52.1 mile rate with a very slick 26.1 last quarter. She draws wide in this race and may be left to do the work outside the leader which we have seen she is capable of doing a number of times throughout her career in fast times including last years Golden Girl at this track and distance when winning after racing without cover throughout.  

RUBY RULES (2) led in the consolation of The Rising Sun last time out and was able to beat her smart stablemate Fire And Passion. That start followed up an excellent run in the Queensland Sun when running on strongly into third behind stablemate Cool And Classy and Always B Cool. She draws best of the main chances in this race and has good gate speed. She should settle close enough to the from a good draw in this race and appears right up to taking on the best open class mares in the country off recent efforts.
