Sampeah drops down to Group Two company for the VRC Sires' Produce Stakes over seven furlongs at Flemington, Australia, on Saturday, March 14.
The John O'Shea-trained juvenile kept on to come home eighth in the Group One William Hill Blue Diamond Stakes over a furlong shorter at Caulfield on February 28.
He ran on strongly to take third at the same course in the Group Three Sportingbet Powered By William Hill Blue Diamond Prelude (colts & geldings) over five and a half furlongs on February 14, and comfortably won over the same trip on his debut in a Rosehill Gardens conditions race on November 29.
John O'Shea said: "Sampeah had no luck on his latest two starts but, stepping out to seven furlongs and from gate three, I can see him positioning two or three pairs back and hopefully unleashing that good turn of foot and speed that he has shown in all his runs so far.
"This is a lovely race for him and a wonderful opportunity to pick up a nice Group Two."
Sampeah, who is partnered by James Doyle for the first time, opposes 11 juveniles including Group One Blue Diamond Stakes fourth Manhattan Blues, Listed fourth Jameka and Sandown handicap scorer Queen Of Wands.
