led, quickened up 3f out, ridden when headed over 2f out, challenging winner but hanging left until edged left when beaten well inside final furlong
prominent, ridden 3f out, led over 2f out, challenged but kept on well
very slowly into stride, tracked leaders until outpaced 3f out
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.
