Her prior two victories were both over the Randwick 1200m and she was unlucky over this track/trip in The Everest last spring. 

Joliestar ($3.60) is favourite with Unibet Australia to win the 2025 TJ Smith Stakes.

Briasa ($4) wasn't suited in The Galaxy, where the four-year-old came from back and wide on a Golden Slipper Day program that favoured runners settling on the rail.

It was still a strong return from the Team Hawkes galloper and prior to that March 22 return, he had won six of his first seven starts.

Group 1 winners Sunshine In Paris ($4.60), Jimmysstar ($8), Overpass and Magic Time (both $9) are also prominent in the market for the 2025 TJ Smith Stakes.
