Revolutionary Miss (+500) has continued her resurgence this campaign chalking up her fourth win of the preparation in the Group 3 Mannerism Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday afternoon.
Michael Dee elected to take all luck out of the equation from stall eight on Saturday, gliding forward to sit outside the leader throughout the 1400m contest.
It turned out to be a winning move in the end, as Wrote To Arataki (+1100) proved to be the only other speed influence in the race, allowing the daughter of Russian Revolution to gain the upper hand in the concluding stages.
There was a late surge by the Ciaron Maher-trained Running By (+450) and well-supported Vagrant (+290) in the final 200m, but the race was already over, with Revolutionary Miss already off and gone with the prize.
Eternal Flame (+300) was the only other unlucky runner, given very little chance when dragging back towards the rear of field, suggesting she is ready to win next time out.
The ultra-consistent Revolutionary Miss proved too good in the end, however, as the Peter & Paul Snowden barn continue to place her perfectly this time in.

Co-trainer Peter Snowden was on course to discuss the win of his stable’s mare, giving insight that the Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) would be the next target.
“She’s a mare in good form and when mares get in good form they hold it and she’s doing exactly that right now,” said Snowden.
“These sort of races suit her perfectly because they’re set weights races, she’s won about one-and-a-half million dollars in prize money now and she’s beating horses that are just going thorough the grades, I call them bread and butter races, they’re very important for her.
“She’s got a tremendous record and it won’t be long before she goes to a sale and no doubt she’ll be worth a lot of money.
“That’ll be her next target (Coolmore Classic), she deserves a crack at a decent race now, she’s earnt the right to be there, her ratings are up nice and high and she’ll be competitive.
‘If she gets a good draw, she can race on speed, she’s learnt to tough races out well now.”
Michael Dee gave credit to his mount and her ability to switch off throughout her races as she builds to even bigger races in the autumn.
“She’s a dream to ride,” said Dee.
“she’s obviously a model of consistency, she’s better from a better gate where she can possie up just in behind them like we did last week.
“Today it was a little bit of a question mark having to work up the hill to get the position we did but I felt pretty comfortable doing so and she won very comfortably in the end.”
Revolutionary Miss has now been marked an $11.00 chance with online bookmakers for the Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) on March 16.
