2026 Quezette Stakes Tips

Stay tuned for our insider Quezette Stakes 2026 Tips on the important early spring lead-up for fillies.

To Win: No. 1 Lara Antipova

LARA ANTIPOVA (8) shapes as one of the standout value plays on the Caulfield program, with the unbeaten Kiwi filly making her Australian debut after a flawless 4-from-4 start across the Tasman. Her Group 1 Sistema Stakes win at Ellerslie was dominant, and she’s already shown versatility with a Matamata Breeders’ victory on Heavy ground and multiple successes at the 1100m trip she tackles fresh. Her Melbourne jump-outs have been sharp — including a Cranbourne hit-out that gave Michael Dee a strong feel for her talent — and a midfield draw gives her options to settle where comfortable. The 59kg impost is the only real query, but class generally carries weight, and she brings the strongest profile into the race. On exposed form and trial evidence, Lara Antipova looks the superior filly and a genuine chance to keep her unbeaten record intact.

The Quezette Stakes field is restricted to three-year-old fillies, the majority of which are kicking off their Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival campaigns. Run under set weights with penalties, the Quezette Stakes gives punters a nice early guide to tougher upcoming race for the young fillies including Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m) or for young sprinters the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) at Flemington over the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

Sunlight (2018) was the last filly to complete the Quezette Stakes – Coolmore Stud Stakes double. Sunlight would also go onto win the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap – William Reid Stakes sprint double in 2019 over the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival.

The Quezette Stakes draws many nice young fillies, some with Group 1 form from their two-year-old seasons in races like the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) held at Caulfield each February or even Rosehill’s iconic Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) in March. In 2018 the Quezette Stakes winner Sunlight had run third in that season’s Golden Slipper Stakes.

Offering $200,000 in total prize money as of 2021 the race is a good early kick-off for fillies chasing Black-Type as three-year-olds.

The Quezette Stakes is run on P.B. Lawrence Stakes Day alongside the weight-for-age Group 2 PB Lawrence Stakes (1400m) and the Group 3 Vain Stakes (1100m). The Vain Stakes is essentially the colts and geldings’ counterpart to the Quezette Stakes, run under the same conditions across the same distance for the same prize money.

Following success in the Quezette Stakes, some fillies might go on to race in the HDF McNeil Stakes or the Thousand Guineas Prelude.

Ferivia (2025) was the last filly to complete the Quezette Stakes – Thousand Guineas Prelude double.

The 2025 Quezette Stakes form was further franked with the runner-up, My Gladiola, going on to run second against the boys in the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington that Melbourne Cup Carnival.

2026 Quezette Stakes Form

The Quezette Stakes form guide is the key tool punters use to assess the early-spring three-year-old fillies heading to Caulfield, breaking down each runner’s first-up record, trial form, sectional times, pedigree, and stable patterns to identify which fillies are ready to fire fresh. Because the Quezette Stakes is often the first major black-type test of the season for fillies, the form guide focuses heavily on raceday freshness, speed maps, and short-course suitability, helping punters spot those with tactical speed, strong late splits, or proven Caulfield sprint form.

What to Look for in the Quezette Stakes Form Guide:

  • First-up performance — Many fillies resume here; strong fresh stats are a major positive.
  • Trial form — Look for controlled, professional trials rather than flashy wins.
  • Speed map — Caulfield’s 1100m chute rewards fillies who can hold a spot early.
  • Sectional times — Late splits from their juvenile season often reveal hidden talent.
  • Pedigree suitability — Sprinting pedigrees dominate; avoid fillies bred to get further.
  • Stable patterns — Big stables often target this race with their best spring fillies.
  • Market movement — Early betting shifts can signal which fillies are forward enough to strike fresh.
