Lightly-raced mare Champagne Ready, from the Chris Waller stable, resumed after her debut second in a Gosford Maiden, 3YO Fillies (1200m) in March to score a narrow but good win here. She settled back in ninth place in the 11-horse field, improved between runners on straightening, got to fifth at the 300m and then finished strongly to grab victory in the last few strides. She looks quite promising and should appreciate further.
