David Payne's gelding looks to have found a suitable assignment and is ready to strike after two good efforts in Sydney since a spell.
Navajo Peak was just off the placegetters fresh then kept chasing last start to miss by a long neck when second at Randwick over 1600m.
He won his only attempt at this longer journey and will be hitting peak fitness.
Ratings suggest Steady Ready is an each way prospect in the 3YO Jewel.
The Sears-trained colt is reliable having been racing consistently since a resuming win at Gold Coast.
He will appreciate a freshen since last seen and returns to a course where he races well.
