Form behind Doncaster Mile winner Kermadec reads well anywhere across the country, let alone in maiden class at Kembla Grange.

With that being the case, Tramotane's polished first-up win on Saturday should have come as no real surprise.

The four-year-old hit the line well to finish fifth behind the eventual Group 1 winner on debut last September but hasn't been sighted at the races since.

She returned for David Payne with a ½-length triumph in the Rydges Campbelltown F&M Maiden Handicap (1200m) on the opening day of the 2015-16 season.

"Her work on Tuesday was impeccable, and I said to David [Payne] that I really couldn't see her getting beaten," stable representative Mark Whiteman said.

"It was probably the most confident I have come to the races in a long time. We were lucky. She has flourished since arriving back in the stable."

Tramotane had just the one quiet trial heading into Saturday's run where she was handed the top weight of 59kg and barrier 10.

Jockey Adam Hyeronimus made light work of the wide draw when he pushed forward from the wide gate to settle just off the speed set by Mick Tubman-trained filly Lady Wynette.

The pair fought it out from the top of the lane with eventual runner-up Roeinda.

Tramotane outlasted her rivals to score narrowly.

"She toughed it out. The horse inside kept grinding and grinding and had a much lighter weight than us," Whiteman said.

"She toughed it out with the 59kg, so it was a pretty good performance."

Whiteman said Payne would mull over whether the mare would return to provincial grade again or head towards a midweek meeting in town.

Wherever they choose to go, Hyeronimus believes the lightly-raced daughter of Northern Meteor will gain improvement from her first-up performance.

"It was a good win. She is still quite immature and I think she will benefit a lot from the outing, both physically and mentally," the jockey said.

"Bearing that in mind, hopefully she can go on and win a few more nice races.

"She has good ability with a lovely stride. She is a big mare. She has a long way to go, I think in time with a few more runs under her belt she will turn into a handy mare."
