Trainer Michael Nolan concedes he may have underestimated Chakvetadze's ability and will recommend that the filly heads to the Group One Stradbroke Handicap if she maintains her unblemished record in the Group Three Gold Coast Guineas.

Chakvetadze isn't nominated for the $1 million Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm on June 6 but the three-year-old can still be included with first late nominations not due until May 27 at a fee of $22,000.

Final late nominations will cost $44,000 and close three days before the Stradbroke.

Nolan never dreamed Chakvetadze would be a winter carnival contender after she won her first race start in a maiden at Ipswich in September last year.

The daughter of little-known sire Taimazov will now be shooting for her sixth victory in Saturday's 1200-metre feature.

Nolan's biggest win of his career was with Laurie's Lottery in the Group One Doomben 10,000 (1350m) in 1999 but to date the Toowoomba trainer has refused to compare them.

"This is a very strong race and if she wins the Guineas then it will be the owner John Hooper's decision whether she's nominated for the Stradbroke," Nolan said.

"But I'll be recommending it if she wins impressively."

Chakvetadze was also nominated for Saturday's Listed Silk Stocking but Nolan preferred to keep her in her own age group.

"This is her biggest test by far and it's a very strong race," Nolan said.

"There's a lot of chances and the interstate horses all have good form but it's hard to line them up with our horses in Queensland.

"My filly hasn't beaten a lot so far and she hasn't done what Youthful Jack and Desuetude have done.

"But we knew at some stage we'd have to try her in good company and we only decided yesterday to run her in the Guineas instead of the Silk Stocking."

Nolan never likes putting his horses on a pedestal and prefers to let results do the talking which is why Laurie's Lottery is under no threat at this stage as the best sprinter's he's trained.

"Laurie's Lottery was a super two and three-year-old and ended up winning a Group One," he said.

"I don't like making big statements about horses but if this filly wins tomorrow then I might start getting carried away with her.

"It's only her second preparation and we never thought she'd be good enough for these sort of races after her first campaign."

Apprentice Brent Evans will be chasing the biggest win of his brief career on Chakvetadze.

Evans has ridden Chakvetadze in her two wins this campaign and Nolan believes she has improved since her latest victory over 1200 metres at Eagle Farm on April 11.

"Everything has gone to plan with her. She's a good doer and good trackworker and hopefully she'll be very competitive again," Nolan said.
