Organza and Just Hiss are closely matched on handicap ratings but both have had plenty of chances. It would be no surprise if one of the less exposed types improved past them and that list includes Hilldale, placed over 7f in both starts to date. But RUSSIAN FINALE makes more appeal having made the frame over track and trip on her debut as the Haggas yard has an impressive strike rate at the track. Going Up is related to winners and is preferred of the newcomers.
