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.
