Slick filly Rostova trialled well at Cranbourne and now connections are confident she'll have a winning spring. Trainer Steve Richasds intends keeping her to 3YO fillies' races. Her main target is the Grp 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield in October. He says: 'She'll come back in the Quezette Stakes 1200m next week and then we will head full tilt to the Thousand Guineas.' Rostova will be entered for the Cox Plate buty is a most unlikely starter.
