In depth
Verdict
A field large in numbers but low in quality and it looks a straight forward opportunity for Russian Society to open her account. The filly has shown enough in two runs to date ion better races to suggest she should win this easily and a reproduction of her latest second behind Tim Honoured would see her win if she is fit after an 397 day absence. Polar Jem rates the main danger on her latest third behind Lunar Colony and a reproduction of that effort would give her definite place claims.Rozanee is another worthy of respect on her debut third behind Peruvia she is sure to improve to defeat the selection Russian Society.
