Phillip Stokes filly has range of spring options after upset win in Quezette Stakes at Caulfield
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. Trainer Phillip Stokes has options with progressive former South Australian filly Ferivia, an impressive winner of the Group 3 Quezette Stakes (1100m) at Caulfield. Ferivia burst through to win under jockey Lachlan Neindorf as John McArdle-trained My Gladiola flashed into second from Thanks Gorgeous and favourite Signature Scent. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'It's very exciting moving forward,' Stokes said. 'Really happy for Lachie too, he's moved over here now and to win a Group race like that. 'We've got a lot of options now haven't we?' Stokes has remained torn on whether Ferivia would be better suited in sprint or middle distances. 'I'm not sure what distance she's going to be,' Stokes said. 'Is she sprinter or is she going to get further in trip? We're going to have to assess all that.' Neindorf piloted Ferivia to victory in a 2YO Benchmark 66 at Murray Bridge last month. The Astern filly placed second at Sandown a fortnight later behind Express Pass, who franked the form on Saturday when third in the Group 3 Vain Stakes (1100m). 'She's a lovely filly on the up and she deserved that win today,' Neindorf said. 'Full credit to Phil and the team … every run she's come through she's gone better, developed and matured into a professional racehorse and it's going to take her a long way. 'She knows when to switch on and when to switch off, she's very kind, she listens to the rider and I love fillies that … because they're not one dimensional. 'She's got a lovely big stride on her and I've always thought she's got the depth to get 1400m or mile … I think she might be on a Thousand Guineas path.'
