Could be another feature race quinella coming up for O’Shea!

The Peter and Paul Snowden trained Russian Revolution filly Russian Conquest is the watch horse having her first run since finishing unplaced on a heavy track in the Group I MRC Thousand Guineas.

Her good track form is very good, so don’t let her get under your guard.

She has three stakes-winning siblings in Stampede (High Chaparrral (IRE), Thinkin’ Big (High Chaparral (IRE) and Just Thinkin’ (So You Think) so will be shooting to become the fourth stakes-winner from terrific producer Nothin’ Leica Cat, who passed away in 2020.
