Race Tip
Robert Sangster Stakes winner RUTHLESS DAME (1) finished 3.5 lengths away in eighth last time out over 6f at Flemington when fresh from a lay-off. Steps up in journey. Jamie Kah is back on and is yet to miss the top-three from three rides, including two wins. Fitter and looks sure to play a big role. Group 2 placegetter MAKARENA (13) has two placings from three starts this prep and last start finished 2 lengths from the winner in second over 7½f in the G2 Phar Lap Stakes at this track. Looks a solid top-three prospect. VIENNA PRINCESS (6) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when ninth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 7½f in the G1 Coolmore Classic at this track. Should be peaking now and can find peak form this time. Group 3 winner OLENTIA (5) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 2.25 lengths at her most recent outing when fourth over 6f in the G3 Birthday Card Stakes at this track. Tougher assignment this time but cannot be underestimated.
