Trainer Mitch Freedman from Ballarat holds strong expectations that Savitri will one day compete effectively in Stakes races, though he’s taking a measured strategy with the talented filly at present.

Given the upcoming three-year-old Stakes races available in other states, Freedman is considering interstate trips for Savitri after her strong performance in the Sportsbet Blackbook Handicap (1500m) at Caulfield Heath last Wednesday.

The filly notched her second success from only four outings and appears destined for a promising career, even as Freedman notes she has much to develop through experience.

Ridden by John Allen as the backed $2.50 favourite, Savitri prevailed by a length against Engine Of War ($6), while Loud Charlie ($2.70) finished a further length back in third.

During the early stages, the filly was eager tracking the pacesetter, yet Freedman anticipates further progress as she gains maturity.

“The problem is with her she is always full of energy,” Freedman said.

“She takes all her work at home like it’s nothing and we can’t seem to get on top of her.

“I’m sure in time, with racing, and that extended work, she will come back underneath herself and race a lot better.

“We’ve still got good enough hopes for her, but we’ll see how she comes through today before deciding what we do with her next.”

Although the Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m) at Morphettville in the coming month might prove premature, Freedman suggested the Auraria Stakes (1800m) as a suitable option.

“It will be a matter how all that works out, but we think she is going to be a really good horse for the stable as a four and five-year-old,” Freedman said.

“We are hoping that she can continue to improve her racing manners and if that can happen, she can get to a nice level.

“A mile or 1800-metre race at Stakes level, that is something we could think about, and the Auraria Stakes might be a little target for her.

“It would give her the experience of travel and a trip away and we could test the water at Stakes level, and we’re not ruling out travel to Sydney either.

“There’s plenty of Stakes races about and we think she’s a horse that can get to that level, but it’s going to be a matter of time when we dip the toe in the water.”
