Ruthless Dame went from a win in the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes for fillies and mares at Morphettville Racecourse in Australia on May 6 to a fifth-place finish in the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap at Eagle Farm on June 10.
It can be argued Ruthless Dame ran as well in the $1.99 million Stradbroke Handicap against open company as she did in the Sangster.
The theory will be tested when Ruthless Dame returns to racing against fillies and mares in the Group 1 Tattersall’s Tiara Stakes at seven furlongs at Eagle Farm on Friday evening.
Courage Mon Ami stayed 2 1/2 miles in his first try over a true distance of ground while jockey Frankie Dettori stayed true to his reputation as the master of Royal Ascot as the pair won the Group 1 Gold Cup on Wednesday.

Show Me Your Love has proved she has the ability to win on soft turf in Australia in the last six months, conditions that will be present in a one-mile race at Tamworth Racecourse on Thursday evening.
A winner of 3 of 8 starts for trainer Kris Lees, the 4-year-old Show Me Your Love was the 2-1 favorite in early betting on Wednesday on the strength of a narrow win at a mile at Tamworth on May 15 in which she closed from fifth of 10 to take the lead in the final strides. The turf course was rated soft that day.
