Ms Petit, 24, was charged in November with possessing and trafficking a commercial quantity of steroids.

Police allege she used the mail service to post steroids to Victoria over 16 months between July 10, 2015 and November 2, 2016.

She was also charged with dealing with proceeds of crime, being $46,920 cash.

Her co-accused — both believed to be from Melbourne — are yet to be identified but will face court at a later date.

The former Miss V8 Super Cars grid girl had to fly in from Queensland, where she designs her own bikini brand, Petitkini, for the brief court hearing.

Magistrate Sue Cameron told her the case needed to progress when Ms Petit was unable to indicate whether she plans to plead guilty or fight the charges.

Her case was adjourned until March 27.
