Menangle Race 5

Club Menangle Captains Mistress Ladyship Stakes (Listed Classic)

Prize Money: $30,600

STENO (8) continued her good form when she came from this barrier to place last start. Her previous two attempts at this circuit and distance resulted in a Sibelia Stakes win and a second to Captains Mistress in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Mile. Reliable and can go close with even luck. LUX AETERNA (1) made a successful hit-and-run visit to Albion Park last start, leading from this barrier and digging deep to get home narrowly. Owns a strong strike rate here so can give a sight. SUGAR PIE HONEY (4) is back in form having come from wider barriers to win her last two outings at this circuit and distance, beating STENO last time. Could strike again. TOKYO ROSE NZ (7) led and faded last start but generally races well over the mile here so is worth another chance. Last-start winner SNAP SHOT NZ (6) jumps in grade but is making progress.

Last start won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Albion Park (1:56.60) beating Sweet Mia in 4yo+ M on May 9 at $1.33. Can give a sight from the inside draw.

Four-year-old mare is racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 1.2 m after showing early speed, (Fr6) at this track (1:49.10) beating Harleequin in M on May 23 at $7 at the bell was 2nd-6.49. Back in peak form and could strike again.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 4 m win (Fr2) at this track (1:52.40) beating Lets Turn It On in 4-020yo+ on June 6 at $13 at the bell was 3rd-3.01. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track was 2nd-3.03 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Seaside Boulevard (1:51.50) in M on May 23 at $1.50. Progressive but this is tougher.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 8th (Fr7) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track was leading by 6.49 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Sugar Pie Honey (1:49.10) in M on May 23 at $3.10. At the previous start 10th (Fr8) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track beaten 30 m by Captains Mistress (1:49.70) in G1 M on May 2 at $23. Bold showing expected if at her best.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Captains Mistress at this track over 1609m in a G1 M on May 2 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Sugar Pie Honey at this track over 1609m in a M on May 23 at $2. Reliable mare with strong claims.
