Trainer Steve Tregea is planning to strike while the iron is hot and will back-up in-form mare Champagne Aunty in the Class 6 Handicap at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Form and breeding buffs should be on the same page when assessing the chances of the Steve Tregea-trained Champagne Aunty at Doomben on Thursday.
