The talented filly Chilly Girl, a recent winner of the Rosebud, is scheduled to compete over 1400 metres for the first time in her career in the forthcoming Tea Rose Stakes at Randwick.

Throughout her brief racing history, the three-year-old has been campaigned exclusively over shorter distances. Her debut victory was in the Widden Stakes (1100m) in January, followed by her success in the Rosebud over the same trip. In her most recent outing, she finished second to Bangkok Hottie in the Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m).

Co-trainer Gerald Ryan is unfazed by the filly’s extended distance for Saturday’s third event of the four-race Princess Series. He believes the Trapeze Artist progeny will be capable of running even further than the 1400 metres of the Tea Rose Stakes.

“I think she’ll run 1400 metres. I think she’ll run a mile,” Ryan commented.

“She has come out of her last race really well. I don’t think on the fence, behind the leader was the place to be.

“She was brave. She was strong, and it was only her third start in a race.

“She has come on from it. Certainly, looking at the feed bin and the way she is going at home, she hasn’t gone backwards.”

Chilly Girl experienced a setback following her Widden Stakes win, which precluded her from contesting the autumn juvenile features.

She has since demonstrated her class. While her dam’s side suggests speed, with I Got Chills winning the 2005 Maribyrnong Trial and St Albans Stakes over 1000m, Trapeze Artist has sired notable performers such as Caulfield Guineas (1600m) winner Griff and Australasian Oaks (2000m) victor Panova.

The filly has drawn barrier two for the 1400m Tea Rose Stakes and is set for a rematch with Bangkok Hottie, as well as Silver Shadow Stakes third placegetter Striking Alibi.
