Each of Russiana's eight rivals had enjoyed at least one prior start, but they could not match the bay newcomer, who routed her opposition in this first go. Reserved off the pace through the early fractions, the 4-1 chance eased wide once into the stretch run. Challenging inside the final quarter-mile, she settled the issue in a matter of strides when quickening to the front with 150 meters to go and was on cruise control from there to register an impressive 2 1/2-length score from Entre Deux Eaux (Fr) (Ange Gabriel {Fr}).
