Pakenham trainer Phillip Stokes has two exciting three-year-olds in feature races at Caulfield in filly Instant Celebrity and colt Savannah Cloud.
Instant Celebrity, who is undefeated in three starts in Adelaide, will start in the Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m).
At her last-start she flew home to win, reeling off the fastest final 200 metres of the day with a time of 11.26 seconds.
“It’s her first time away from Morphettville and her first time at Caulfield,” Stokes said.
“She’s a really impressive filly and she will run very well. It’s her preliminary before the Thousand Guineas.”
Savannah Cloud had two starts as a juvenile for two placings before an easy first up win in a Cranbourne maiden on September 13.
He will run in the Caulfield Guineas Prelude (1400m).
“He’s a really nice horse and whatever he does in the spring, he’ll be a lot better in the autumn so we won’t go too deep this campaign,” Stokes said.
“Hopefully he can put up his hand and get to the Caulfield Guineas.”
