Coronation Stakes winner Immortal Verses (10-1) showed an impressive turn of foot to beat Goldikova (10/11 favorite) in the Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville on Monday.
Robert Collet three-year-old mare was a field behind most of the race a group, but swept forward along the track inside under Gerald Mosse.
Goldikova time could not match the winner of heavy foot down and just ahead Sahpresa (12-1) in a photo for second, with a length of clear line of immortal pair.
Collet told skysports.com: "Having won the bet of the Coronation, I was always thinking she could become a champion filly, and she showed today."
The Pivotal filly came into the game of Queen Elizabeth II on the Day of Champions' at Ascot in October, where Frankel is expected to drop the curtain on his career three years.
Collet could very well accept the challenge and taken by Sir Henry Cecil colt as the manager of Chantilly said: "I will decide in the next few days .. the rest of his program and what he intends to do Ascot is a chance"

Pierre-Yves Bureau, director of race Wertheimer brothers own Goldikova, said: "First, we must say" well done "for the winner.
"Immortal Verse won the Coronation Stakes Ascot is a lot and is very good, fresh, three-year filly.
"Not much to say about Goldikova. He was beaten a very good horse and it is difficult to find excuses. It looked OK, and we see it again.
"Where is she now goes to Freddie. She will have to have more run before the Breeders' Cup. Is perhaps the Prix du Moulin and Prix de la Forêt, Freddie decided."
There was British interest in the race, but neither Dick Turpin Richard Hannon and urban landscape of the court of Roger Charlton could disturb the directors to come home seventh and eighth respectively.
Charlton said: "I was a little disappointed with what really was a bit tired at the end and it just was not good enough, we must find something else for him now ..."
