In a three-horse war, the daughter of Russian Revolution edged out the Not a Single doubt filly Floral Oasis by a half-head with another daughter of Not a Single Doubt,  Affogato Girl a nose back in third.

Russian Warrior was ridden by her trainer Allan Chau, who announced he would be relinquishing his jockey licence to concentrate on training.
