The four-year-old mare will race at the Manning Valley Race Club's TAB meeting at Taree on Monday.
She then won a trial by just over seven lengths over 1000m at Port last Sunday to add to his confidence.
He has only had the mare for about three months after a string of close finishes for a Warwick Farm trainer.
“She is a lovely mare bred to sprint,” Franklin said.
“She has only had two starts for me and was a good buy.”
He said the mare, to be ridden by in-form apprentice jockey Mikayla Weir, had “paid for herself with the win.”
