Trainer Bryan Guy looks set to get his wish for a fast early pace when his two-year-old filly Stroak makes her return in the Group Two Champange Classic.

It is rare for 1200-metre juvenile races at Doomben to be run at anything other than flat chat and on paper Saturday's race looks to be no different.

Stroak will be having her first run back since a fast-finishing fifth behind Unencumbered in the Magic Millions Classic at the Gold Coast on January 11.

The filly came from 15th on the turn in the Millions, confirming that she will be a much better horse over longer trips than 1200m.

Guy admits Saturday's field may be too slick for Stroak but he warned his rivals the filly would be steaming home if luck went her way.

"I know she won her first two starts at 1010 metres and 1200 metres but against black-type company this may be a big short.

"But I was pleased with her two trials when she was placed both times. There is a bit of pace drawn outside her on Saturday so hopefully they will go very hard."

Provided Stroak races well she will press on to the Group Two BRC Sires' Produce Stakes (1350m) on May 24 and and the Group One JJ Atkins (1600m) on June 7.

However, Guy has even bigger plans for Stroak in the spring with the Caulfield Thousands Guineas and the VRC Oaks on the radar.

"The JJ Atkins will probably give us the best idea of her ability as a miler-stayer," Guy said.

"But I have liked her all along and she has come back a much bigger stronger filly."

The Champange Classic threatens to overshadow the Group One BTC Cup as the race of the day with Wyong trainer Allan Denham electing to push on for the winter with unbeaten gelding Furbish.
