Wagga Race 5

Nutrien Equine Riverina Championships Mares Final (Listed Classic)

Stake: $110,000

Classy mare EYE KEEP SMILING (11) asserted her dominance in Tuesdays prelude, coming from this row to find the front before winning with something in hand. That made it three successes on the trot and was her third win from four tries here, the lone defeat coming when edged out in this race last year. She is set to atone. Former brilliant juvenile LUX AETERNA (10) was an eye-catcher behind EYE KEEP SMILING when resuming on Tuesday, sitting back in the field before hitting the line strongly. Has won two of three second-up attempts so is open to improvement. EVER ART (7) was brave when she did some work from a similar barrier to split the top two selections in the prelude. That made it back-to-back seconds since a spell and she should be close to peaking. WINDY HILL TARA (9) is in form, placing from the outside barrier last time at Menangle and winning two of her previous three at Bathurst. Draws for a trail so can play a role. AROMET GIRL (2) is an exotic player from a low draw.

Last start was well beaten after breaking at Young on April 11. At the run before game effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 1740m at this track, at the bell was 6th-11.8 beaten 3 m by Kia Ora Beauty (2:02.80) in NR up to 65 M on March 7 at $10. The good draws gives her exotic claims.

Last start good run when 3rd (Fr10) over 1609m after being wide early at Menangle beaten 9 m by Maria Allegonda (1:52.50) in NR up to 85 M on April 12 at $7. Two runs back ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Bathurst (2:02.30) beating Our Goat in NR up to 80 on April 9 at $5 at the bell was leading 2.55. Draws for a trail so can play a role.

Strong return to racing last start with a solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 2270m at this track was 7th-14.8 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Eye Keep Smiling (2:44.70) in 4-5yo No NR M on April 15 at $7. Eye catcher when resuming and can perform well again.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Looked good last start. Won by 3 m as favourite (Sr2) at this track (2:44.70) beating Ever Art in 4-5yo No NR M on April 15 at $1.07 at the bell was leading 2.4. Two runs back won by 10 m as favourite (Fr6) at Menangle (1:50.30) beating Tay Tay in No NR M on March 28 at $1.28. Top class mare who will be very hard to stop.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
