On Saturday, we will unleash our very promising gelding Regal Award.
The son of Ole Kirk, who turned heads at his most recent Pakenham jump out, will kick off his spring campaign in a 1200m 3YO C&amp;G contest at The Valley.
While Regal Award is currently a one start maiden, he has shown us above average ability at home and profiles like a Group horse in the making.
Daniel Stackhouse has been booked to ride Regal Award, who maps to get a lovely run from barrier three.
Red Hot Nicc will be out to make it two on the trot when he contests another 1200m Bm84.
The Dalziel Racing-owned galloper hasn&rsquo;t missed a beat since last fortnight&rsquo;s dominant front running display and will retain the services of Tom Stockdale. 
Congratulations to the Brook family on the breathtaking G3 Quezette Stakes victory by their homebred filly Ferivia.
The daughter of Astern, who savaged the line to topple a field of quality fillies, has pulled up well from the run and will be next seen over 1200m in the Listed Atlantic Jewel Stakes at The Valley on September 6th.&nbsp; Racing Manager&rsquo;s Nick Pinkerton and Jackson Frantz reflect on Ferivia&rsquo;s G3 Quezette Stakes success before previewing the stables runners at The Valley and Morphettville Parks on Saturday.
A team of five will assemble at Saturday&rsquo;s&nbsp;Morphettville Parks&nbsp;meeting, headed by&nbsp;The Mansman&nbsp;in&nbsp;Race 7&nbsp;and Fulmen Park&rsquo;s&nbsp;Special Dancer&nbsp;in&nbsp;Race 5.

Phillip Stokes Racing

Stoked! A Regal Award

Phillip Stokes

Spring is well and truly on the horizon with the stable gearing up for a Saturday of feature action at&nbsp;Caulfield, headlined by&nbsp;Ferivia&nbsp;in the&nbsp;G3 Quezette Stakes.
The&nbsp;Brook family-owned and bred filly, who was super last start when finishing second at&nbsp;Sandown, will appreciate the step up to&nbsp;1100m&nbsp;and has the talent to make her presence felt against quality opposition.
Lachy Neindorf, who has ridden Ferivia in her two starts to date, will partner the daughter of&nbsp;Astern&nbsp;from barrier two of ten.
Skippers Canyon&nbsp;(Race 2), a dominant winner at his first start for the stable, will take his place in an&nbsp;1800m Bm74.
The&nbsp;OTI Racing-owned import showed an electric turn of foot to go from last to first at&nbsp;Sandown&nbsp;and looks an extremely progressive type that will relish the extra&nbsp;400m&nbsp;on offer.
Gala Queen&nbsp;(Race 3) is another galloper that looks poised to strike on Saturday.
Her first up performance suggests she has returned in super order and the step up from&nbsp;1100m&nbsp;to&nbsp;1400m&nbsp;will suit her down to the ground.
Blake Shinn&nbsp;is a key booking and will ensure Gala Queen gets every chance at success in the Bm78 contest.
We are set to saddle up six runners at the&nbsp;Morphettville Parks&nbsp;meeting on Saturday, including&nbsp;Zou Doll&nbsp;(Race 1) and&nbsp;Regal Secret&nbsp;(Race 5), with the pair making the journey from our Pakenham base on Thursday and arriving at our&nbsp;Adelaide&nbsp;stable in good order.
Racing Manager&rsquo;s&nbsp;Nick Pinkerton&nbsp;and&nbsp;Jackson Frantz&nbsp;preview the stables runners at&nbsp;Caulfield&nbsp;and&nbsp;Morphettville Parks&nbsp;on Saturday before providing updates on&nbsp;Stretan Angel,&nbsp;Deakin,&nbsp;Athanatos,&nbsp;Comanche Miss&nbsp;and&nbsp;Regal Award&nbsp;after they all jumped out in style at&nbsp;Pakenham&nbsp;on Tuesday.

Stoked! Ferivia To Fly

On Saturday, we will saddle up&nbsp;Red Hot Nicc&nbsp;and&nbsp;Twin Perfection&nbsp;in the final event at&nbsp;The Valley.
While both gallopers haven&rsquo;t figured prominently in recent starts, we are confident in improved performances, with&nbsp;Red Hot Nicc&nbsp;boasting a superb record at&nbsp;The Valley&nbsp;having finished either first or second in four of his five starts at the track.
He will need to overcome&nbsp;barrier 14&nbsp;but has the speed to cross and offset the draw without much issue.
Twin Perfection&nbsp;is another that can bounce back to form after striking a bottomless&nbsp;Morphettville&nbsp;track last time out. We are hoping&nbsp;Lachy Neindorf&nbsp;can position him just in behind the speed from&nbsp;barrier 10. 
Special Dancer&nbsp;and&nbsp;Brave Star&nbsp;will represent the stable at&nbsp;Morphettville&nbsp;on Saturday and both looked to be well placed.
The&nbsp;Regal Bloodstock-owned Brave Star will be out to go one better than last start and maps to get a good run from&nbsp;barrier 4&nbsp;with&nbsp;Jacob Opperman&nbsp;aboard.
Fulmen Park&rsquo;s&nbsp;Special Dancer, who produced a strong second at&nbsp;Geelong&nbsp;last start has settled in well at our&nbsp;Morphettville&nbsp;base and can make her presence felt in the eighth event over&nbsp;1200m.
We will also take two runners to&nbsp;Mildura&nbsp;on Saturday with&nbsp;Sectors&nbsp;(Race 1) and&nbsp;Annanda&nbsp;(Race 2) out to break their maiden statuses. Our weekly preview podcast is back with Racing Manager's&nbsp;Nick Pinkerton&nbsp;and&nbsp;Jackson Frantz&nbsp;previewing the stables runners on Saturday before discussing stable stars&nbsp;Deakin&nbsp;and&nbsp;Stretan Angel&nbsp;ahead of their second jump outs at&nbsp;Pakenham&nbsp;this coming Tuesday.

Stoked! The Valley & Morphettville

While&nbsp;Taramansour&nbsp;will be our sole runner at&nbsp;Flemington&nbsp;this Saturday, a large team will assemble at&nbsp;Murray Bridge&nbsp;as we look to kick off the new season with momentum, fresh off securing the 2024/25&nbsp;South Australian Metropolitan Premiership&nbsp;in emphatic style.
The&nbsp;Regal Bloodstock-owned&nbsp;Taramansour,&nbsp;who caught the eye with a strong finish first-up at&nbsp;Caulfield, will contest&nbsp;Race 8&nbsp;on the program over&nbsp;1620m.
Expect him to be charging home once again as we look to build his campaign toward staying trips. Meanwhile, we saddle up a competitive team at&nbsp;Murray Bridge, with&nbsp;Lavish Thinker&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Mansman&nbsp;set to fly the&nbsp;National Jockeys Trust&nbsp;silks in races 4 and 9 respectively.&nbsp;
Both were scratched from last weekend&rsquo;s heavily rain-affected&nbsp;Morphettville&nbsp;meeting, and they now line up on more favourable Soft ground.
Other runners on the day include&nbsp;Broadbeach Miss&nbsp;(Race 2) and&nbsp;Sign From Above&nbsp;(Race 6) for&nbsp;Bennett Racing&nbsp;while&nbsp;Runaway Statement&nbsp;looks a leading hope in the 1200m&nbsp;Bm64&nbsp;(Race 7).
Dalziel Racing&rsquo;s&nbsp;Stolen Kiss&nbsp;continues her campaign in Race 2, but once again faces a wide draw,&nbsp;barrier 13. On Wednesday morning at&nbsp;Caulfield, stable stars&nbsp;Deakin&nbsp;and&nbsp;Stretan Angel&nbsp;took the next step in their preparations, both producing encouraging efforts in their first jump outs for the campaign.
The pair will jump out again at&nbsp;Pakenham&nbsp;on&nbsp;Tuesday, August 12, ahead of highly anticipated returns in the&nbsp;G1 Memsie Stakes&nbsp;(Deakin) and&nbsp;G3 Cockram Stakes&nbsp;(Stretan Angel).
It was also a strong showing midweek from&nbsp;Skippers Canyon, who made a winning debut for the stable with a stunning last-to-first performance at&nbsp;Sandown.
The&nbsp;OTI Racing-owned Kiwi import was resuming over&nbsp;1400m&nbsp;and will now rise to&nbsp;1800m&nbsp;for a&nbsp;Bm74&nbsp;at Caulfield on&nbsp;August 16.

Stoked! Flemington & Murray Bridge

We will be represented by exciting debutant Bold Secret at Flemington on Saturday when he steps out in Race 4 on the program.
Our son of Brazen Beau, who will be ridden by Craig Williams, has shown plenty of ability at home and in his jump outs to date. If he handles the straight and overall occasion we expect a bold showing.&nbsp;
Owned and bred by the Board family, Bold Secret is out of Private Nancy, herself the daughter of Phillip&rsquo;s 2003 Adelaide Guineas winner Nancy Eleanor.
Red Hot Nicc is our other runner at Flemington and will step out to the 1200m off the back of a pleasing tick over jump out between runs.
We will take a team of seven to Morphettville on Saturday, headlined by OTI Racing's last start stakes performer Kazaru in the G3 Sires' Produce Stakes.
Racing Manager's Nick Pinkerton and Jackson Frantz preview our runners at Flemington and Morphettville on Saturday.

We&rsquo;re excited to offer shares in a strong, compact, and athletic daughter of Doubtland, purchased from the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale by respected bloodstock agent Suman Hedge, with a firm tick of approval on type from the Stokes Racing team.
This filly, who impressed Phillip during her first preparation at Pakenham, is by a stallion we know well, with the exciting Sassy For Sure set for a breakout second preparation and the Hong Kong-bound Tom a city winner in his own right. &nbsp;

Stoked! No Secret

We are set to saddle up three runners at Caulfield on Saturday given consistent gelding Chakado (2nd EM) secures a start in the final event on the program. &nbsp;
Our other runner in the last at Caulfield is Taramansour, and he will carry 60.5kg after the 2kgclaim of Jaylah Kennedy, who won on the Regal Bloodstock-owned galloper at Flemington last preparation.&nbsp;
Last seen finishing fifth in March&rsquo;s Adelaide Cup, Taramansour will resume over 1700m after two jump outs leading into this first up assignment.
Our other chance at Caulfield is Shystar, a filly who has jumped out up impressively ahead of her return.
She will be partnered by Joe Bowditch when she steps out in Race 1.
Racing Manager&rsquo;s Nick Pinkerton and Jackson Frantz are joined by gun hoop Lachy Neindorf, whose star has risen in recent seasons through consistent results in the saddle and two glorious Group 1s aboard our very own Climbing Starand Femminile.
Lachy previews his upcoming rides at Murray Bridgeon Saturday before offering an insight into his raceday preparation, the physical and mental demands of life in the saddle, and how a formative stint in Victoria fast-tracked his development - maturing him both as a rider and as a person.
Now firmly established among South Australia&rsquo;sleading jockeys, Lachy reflects on the experiences that have shaped his rise through the ranks.

The daughter of Astern was ultra impressive at the trials last week and if that can translate to raceday she&rsquo;s sure to prove ultra-competitive. &nbsp;
While Noetzie (Race 4) has an awkward gate to overcome, barrier 13, he is certainly knocking on the door of victory after running into an above average type in Cicala at his most recent start.
Our other runners on the Murray Bridge card include Falanghina and Runaway Statement in Race 8 and Watadeel in Race 9.

Stoked! ft. Lachy Neindorf

Stay Focused will headline our team of runners on Saturday when he steps out in the $150,000 T L Cooney at Ipswich.&nbsp;
The Bennett Racing-owned 3YO's trackwork suggests he can bounce back to form after pulling up with the thumps following an unplaced performance in the G3 Fred Best Classic.
Kyle Wilson-Taylor has been booked to ride Stay Focused, a horse who has the tactical speed to overcome the outside draw.
Bennett Racing&rsquo;s last start Listed Helen Coughlan Stakes winner Zaszou remains on track for next Saturday&rsquo;s G1 Tatts Tiara at Eagle Farm after working nicely at the Gold Coast on Tuesday morning.
Twin Perfection is our sole representative at Flemington on Saturday and will be partnered by Jett Stanley in Race 3 on the program. &nbsp;
The Regal Bloodstock-owned gelding presents third up at 1100m after being beaten just 3.15L against quality opposition in the Listed Bel Esprit Stakes.

The lightly raced son of Harry Angel was brave in defeat on resumption when in the inferior inside ground and should prove ultra-competitive here second-up.&nbsp;

Stoked! Form Frenzy

While we won&rsquo;t have any stakes representation in the&nbsp;Sunshine State&nbsp;this Saturday the stable will saddle up five runners at&nbsp;Sandown, including&nbsp;Chakado, who is shooting for four on the bounce when he steps up to&nbsp;Bm78&nbsp;grade.
Chakado has come into his own this campaign with bold front running displays at&nbsp;Cranbourne&nbsp;to salute on both occasions under the in-form&nbsp;Joe Bowditch.
Despite Saturday&rsquo;s contest,&nbsp;Race 6, being a step up in class we expect Chakado to prove competitive again given the favourable draw,&nbsp;barrier seven. Joe Bowditch will also partner the resuming&nbsp;Red Hot Nicc&nbsp;in&nbsp;Race 8&nbsp;on the program.
The&nbsp;Dalziel Racing-owned sprinter is yet to win first-up but has produced four second placed performances when fresh off a spell.
Red Hot Nicc continues to please in his trackwork and looks to have returned in good order off the back of two nice jump outs.
We are excited to see promising juveniles&nbsp;Hot Whiskers, herself a debut winner at&nbsp;Mornington&nbsp;last preparation, and first starter&nbsp;Street Legal&nbsp;step out in the opening event on the program.
Both horses have shown plenty of ability at the jump outs this preparation and can certainly measure up to the grade.
Lavish Thinker, who has done nothing but please in two runs back this campaign, gets his chance at Saturday grade&nbsp;(Race 7)&nbsp;after a strong last start performance at&nbsp;Bendigo&nbsp;over the mile.
The&nbsp;Think Big Stud-owned galloper will appreciate the step up to&nbsp;1800m&nbsp;and can make his presence felt with a light weight and talented apprentice&nbsp;Hannah Edgley&nbsp;aboard.

All roads now lead to the&nbsp;G1 Tatts Tiara&nbsp;with&nbsp;Bennett Racing&rsquo;s&nbsp;Zaszou&nbsp;after she produced a blistering display of speed to take out last Saturday&rsquo;s&nbsp;Listed Helen Coughlan Stakes.
The jump from Listed to Group 1 grade is no mean feat but her performance in the&nbsp;G2 Sapphire Stakes&nbsp;in April gives us confidence she can measure up at the top level against her own sex.
Zaszou&rsquo;s victory marked the stables seventh individual stakes winner since&nbsp;Deakin&nbsp;saluted in the&nbsp;Listed Roy Higgins Quality&nbsp;at&nbsp;Flemington&nbsp;on March 29th.
Our other stakes winners during this period include&nbsp;Comanche Miss,&nbsp;Stay Focused,&nbsp;Athanatos,&nbsp;Femminile&nbsp;and&nbsp;Regal Azmon. We will saddle up just the two runners at&nbsp;Murray Bridge&nbsp;on Saturday, including promising 2YO&nbsp;Matahgain Race 3 and&nbsp;The Mansman&nbsp;in Race 7

Stoked! A Saturday at Sandown

It&rsquo;s take two at&nbsp;Eagle Farm&nbsp;on Saturday with&nbsp;Femminile&nbsp;and&nbsp;Zaszou&nbsp;set to step out in the&nbsp;G1 Queensland Derby&nbsp;and&nbsp;Listed Helen Coughlan Stakes&nbsp;respectively.
While Femminile would&rsquo;ve relished the wet conditions on offer last Saturday she&rsquo;s still set to shine in her new&nbsp;Yulong&nbsp;attire after putting in a solid piece of work on&nbsp;Tuesday&nbsp;morning.
Zaszou&rsquo;s&nbsp;work on Tuesday and last start performance against high-quality opposition in the&nbsp;G2 Sapphire Stakes&nbsp;gives us confidence that she can put in a big performance in the Helen Coughlan with&nbsp;Ethan Brown&nbsp;aboard. We are excited to see&nbsp;Cosmic Shower,&nbsp;a filly who carries the famous&nbsp;Think Big Stud&nbsp;silks, resume over&nbsp;1100m&nbsp;at&nbsp;Flemington&nbsp;on Saturday after three pleasing jump outs.
The daughter of&nbsp;Peltzer, who had a luckless first preparation, when unplaced in the&nbsp;Geelong Diamond&nbsp;and&nbsp;Blue Diamond Preview&nbsp;will be partnered by the in-form&nbsp;Joe Bowditch.

Stoked! Take Two

Saturday is shaping up to be another big day for the stable, with a four-pronged attack headed by a new look Femminile set to contest key Eagle Farm features.
We will also saddle up four runners at Caulfield, including Twin Perfection in the Listed Bel Esprit Stakes.
Last start G1 SA Derby winner Femminile will tackle the G1 Queensland Derby with some new attire after being purchased by Yulong for $1.5 million at Tuesday&rsquo;s Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale.
The daughter of Dundeel, who has drawn superbly in barrier nine, worked nicely on Tuesday morning and should prove ultra-competitive with Tim Clark aboard. 
Another key contender is the low-flying Regal Azmon, who will get a chance at adding another Group 3 to his resume when he steps out in the Lord Mayor&rsquo;s Cup over the 1800m.
We expect Regal Azmon to produce another blistering final sprint and figure prominently in the finish with Craig Williams in the saddle. 
The&nbsp;Bennett Racing pair of Stay Focused and Zaszou, who have secured the services of Ethan Brown, will take their place in the G3 Fred Best Classic and Listed Helen Coughlan Stakes respectively.
While Stay Focused hasn&rsquo;t missed a beat since arriving in the Sunshine State he will be required to overcome a tough draw if he&rsquo;s to secure a third win on the bounce.
The Helen Coughlan sets up for Zaszou to run a big race after she savaged the line with intent to finish within a length of Group 1 grade gallopers Commemorative and Lady Laguna at her last start in the G2 Sapphire Stakes.

Saturday&rsquo;s Morphettville meeting also holds a great deal of interest for the stable with Harmonic Dancer set to make his debut in the opening event on the program after two dominant trial victories.&nbsp;
Bred by Tommy Stokes and raced in partnership with great stable supporters in Brett Dixon and the MacLean family, and their fellow connections, Harmonic Dancer will carry the same silks worn by impressive debut winner Ground Control at Sale on Wednesday.
We will be represented by a further six runners at Morphettville, including Swettenham Stud&rsquo;s Palm Of Jumeriah in Race 5 and promising 3YO Noetzie in Race 8.
