The confidence that translated into a four length, Group One win at her latest start has been replaced by jubilation as trainer Mick Price prepares glamour filly Samaready for her next assignment.

"She's fit, she's sound and she's flying," Price said after Samaready galloped at Moonee Valley on Thursday.

After two aborted campaigns in the past 12 months, the Blue Diamond Stakes winner has returned in brilliant form, winning her only two starts this spring, the most recent in the Group One Moir Stakes at the Valley last month.

Her next start comes in the Manikato Stakes, also at Group One level at Moonee Valley, a race in which she will renew her claim to the sprinting crown previously worn by Black Caviar.

"That was as good a gallop as when she came here before the Moir," Price said.

"And she had lengths and lengths up her sleeve."

The Moir win came at Samaready's third start since she finished third in the 2012 Golden Slipper and provided proof of her recovery from the injury that halted her autumn preparation.

And the more he pondered that performance and the gallop he had just witnessed, the more impressed Price became.

"She's great in the coat, well-muscled, super fit," he said.

"Her recovery is great.....she's got it all."

The Manikato, run at Moonee Valley on Friday week, is expected to bring together the hottest sprint field available.

Along with Samaready, who is a firm favourite, the race is likely to feature Hong Kong champion Lucky Nine, Newmarket winner Shamexpress who has recently returned from England, Bel Sprinter, Buffering and Rebel Dane.

"She improved heaps from run one to run two, I don't need her to improve too much for run three," he said.

"She's there, she's flying, couldn't be better."
