Boom galloper Chakvetadze will be bidding for a Sydney autumn campaign and a possible shot at the Group One Coolmore Classic when she attempts to keep her unblemished record in tact next start.
Chakvetadze has been cleared to start in the Listed Nudgee Quality Hcp (1200m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday week after stewards barred her following her explosive victory at Doomben on December 19.
The four-year-old mare proved a handful for jockey Larry Cassidy when she played up behind the barriers and was difficult to load.
However, the daughter of Taimazov passed with flying colours when she had a jump out and barrier trial in front of stewards at Toowoomba recently.
"She had no trouble passing the trials and everything went fine," her trainer Michael Nolan said.
"She was reluctant to load at Doomben and was barred by the stewards. It didn't surprise me as she can be funny in the barriers."
Nolan is not concerned Chakvetadze won't have started for five weeks when she tackles the fillies and mares feature.
"There's nothing we can do about it. She's fit and working well and she hasn't lost anything," he said.
"I've given some thought about taking her to Sydney if she wins or runs well next start.
"There's some nice fillies and mares races for her in Sydney and if she goes well in them then the Coolmore is a possibility."
The Group One Coolmore Classic (1500m) will be run at Rosehill on March 20.
Gold Coast three-year-old Shoot Out will also be in Sydney for the autumn and will be aimed at the Group One AJC Australian Derby (2400m) at Randwick in April.
Shoot Out is currently having a short break after finishing fifth to Graceful Anna in the Magic Millions Trophy (1400m) at the Gold Coast on Saturday.
Trainer John Wallace was disappointed the three-year-old ran below expectations but he was pleased with his performance when he lost his position and was caught wide in the early stages.
"I'm a bit surprised some people criticised the run but he got caught wide and covered more ground than any other runner," Wallace said.
"I know he's still a good horse and it hasn't changed my mind about taking him to Sydney for the Derby."
Shoot Out, who won the Group Two Sires' Produce Stakes (1400m) at Eagle Farm last June, will have his first Sydney start in the Group Two Royal Sovereign Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on February 13.
He will then follow the traditional lead-ups to the AJC Derby through the Group Two Hobartville Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill on February 27, the Group One Randwick Guineas (1600m) on March 13 and the Group One Rosehill Guineas (2000m) a fortnight later.
