Miss Andretti is “ready to race” according to Lee Freedman and will make her return to the track in Saturday's Listed The Heath (1100m) at Caulfield.
The mare was scratched from last weekend's McEwen Stakes at Moonee Valley where she was to be ridden by Craig Newitt
but new stable rider Dwayne Dunn will have his first ride on her this weekend.
Miss Andretti 
hasn't raced since disappointing when fourth as an odds-on favourite in the Group 1 Sangster Stakes in March.
She is very well placed as a multiple Group 1 winning sprinter in Saturday's Listed race, run under set weight and penalties where she has equal topweight with just 56.5kg.
“She worked very well yesterday,” Freedman said. “She's nice and forward and has had a couple of jump-outs. She's keen for a race so unless the heavens open she'll be running on Saturday.”
Freedman said the mare is likely to run in the Group 1 Manikato Stakes a fortnight later following this weekend's assignment.
The Hall Of Fame trainer is looking forward to the weekend, especially for the return of
Sugar Babe where she will make her spring return in the Group 3 McNeil Stakes (1200m).
She hasn't raced since finishing sixth behind Sebring in the Group 1 Golden Slipper.
