Marshall Gambit d3

I wanna know your thoughts on this position. How should Black play in this variation. It's a side line for Marshall Gambit.

Engines show  that Black continues here with Bf5 ideas without Qh4. I wanted know what are all the ideas  and strategies behind that. Ruy lopez players some analysis please.

Well, you can't play g5 after Re4 but you can go Qf5. After Nd2-Qg6 white need to retreat the rook and black can play f5! It's a complicated drawish line the last time I checked.

I believe that black can still play Qh4 after d3, it's just a little bit different from d4, more tension in the center.
