TRAINER Peter Snowden chose his words carefully when asked to rate the potential of unbeaten youngster, Russian Revolution.

“You can’t get too carried away with winter racing but in Sydney the two-year-olds we have seen in the last three or four weeks have been well above average and this colt is one of them,’’ Snowden said.

“He is a lovely horse who has always shown good ability, he works really well at home.

“I think he is definitely up to the better class of horses in his age group.’’

Snowden made those comments after Russian Revolution maintained his unbeaten record a dominant effort in the Can Assist Volunteers Plate (1200m) at Royal Randwick.

Russian Revolution ($2.80 favourite) showed natural race sense to rail through and lead into the straight before dashing to score by two lengths without being fully tested.

Morton’s Fork ($5.50) ran on well for second with Treviso ($41) holding on for third, nearly two lengths away.

After winning on debut at Canterbury this month, albeit on protest, Russian Revolution made certain there was no controversy this time with his runaway Randwick effort.

“It was good to win fair and square,’’ Snowden said.

“But I am happy he was able to bring his form to the races and win with authority.

“He has improved a lot from his first run to today and he has more improvement to come.’’

Rory Hutchings completed his apprentices earlier this month so continuing his winning momentum on horses like Russian Revolution will help him make a smooth transition to the senior riding ranks.

“I haven’t been going over to ride some work for the Snowden stable at Randwick but I might look to do that now after this win,’’ Hutchings said.

“Russian Revolution was very impressive, he is two from two now and won quite comfortably.

“He was having a good look around in the straight so I just wanted to keep him balanced. He had a fair bit in reserve.’’

Snowden admitted he is unsure of immediate plans for Russian Revolution but indicated the colt may go for a short freshen up now before the new season.

“We will just have a thing about it over the next couple of days but it might be the right time to give him a two-week break,’’ Snowden said.

“It wouldn’t hurt to give him a little break and get him ready for the early spring races.

“I’m not sure if he is a Golden Rose horse, I don’t know about him at 1400m, but there are some sprint races which would suit this colt.

“He has been a slow maturing horse, he was a little, light fellow early and went shin sore a couple of times but he has always shows something and I feel he will develop into a nice horse.’’

Morton’s Fork ran a blinker first-up and gave the impression he would gain significant improvement from the run while Treviso lost no admirers in defeat.
