Emancipation Stakes – 2024

Track: Soft Weather: Fine

Makarena has plenty of ability and has been racing in superb fashion. Ruthless Dame looks well placed and this race is within reach. Hinged has ability but has been hit and miss of late. Arctic Glamour and Madame Pommery have the potential to take this out if showing their best.

1. Ruthless Dame (5)

Classy runner that should get every hope from the draw and looks well placed in this field. The booking of Kah is a plus and this race suits.

2. Hinged (13)

Has been mixing form of late but best efforts go close in a field of this quality. Will need a bit of luck from barrier 13.

3. Madame Pommery (9)

Better than last start and looks the best roughie of the race. Query on the form of Nash recently.

4. Hell Hath No Fury (8)

Can’t have.

5. Olentia (3)

Has claims in this but is getting costly to punters. Maps well from barrier 3 and should give this a shake.

6. Vienna Princess (7)

Has been hit and miss this prep but well placed on form with even luck from the barrier.

7. Barbie’s Fox (11)

Prefer others.

8. She’s All Class (4)

This looks too tough.

9. Gently Rolled (6)

Prefer others.

10. Sweet Mercy (14) – scratched

11. Street Gossip (10)

Can’t have.

12. Stormy Witness (2)

Prefer others.

13. Makarena (1)

Going really well, maps for a dream run and Clark steers. Ticks all the boxes and profiles to be winning this. Still appeals at the odds on offer.

14. Arctic Glamour (12)

Best would go close in this. Weary and looks a shade overs.

The following are the top 4 selections for this years race.
