Verdict
A race to keep a notebook handy for as it will be surprising if this quartet do not go on from here and hold their own in decent company. However, Russian Dance, a half-sister to Racing Post Trophy and Dante Stakes winner Saratoga Springs, is just preferred over the well-regarded Changari as the daughter of Nureyev at least has experience of a sixth furlong at this stage. The Sir Michael Stoute-trained filly will have benefited greatly from her debut run at headquarters and she can hold all the aces if Changari again takes too -long --a --time to get going here. Frangiapani and Hurricane Lilly are best watched for now.
