Trainer Mick Price said the filly would begin her preparation at the Rockmount facility north east of Melbourne.
Samaready started favourite in the Golden Slipper on April 7 but suffered her first defeat in five starts when third behind Pierro and Snitzerland.The filly was spelled while Pierro went on to complete the final two legs of the juvenile Group One triple crown in the Sires' Produce and Champagne Stakes.
Price said Samaready would be aimed at the Thousand Guineas (1600m) at Caulfield in October.
"If she indicates she'll handle a mile that's the way we'll be going with her," Price said.
Samaready is raced by a syndicate which includes Vinery Stud which stands her sire More Than Ready.
More Than Ready was placed at 1600 and 1800 metres while Samaready's dam Samar also won over 1400 metres.
