Go Indy Go will run over 2040m at Moonee Valley on Saturday, but not in the race her trainer had originally hoped.
After she won the Champagne Stakes in the autumn, Leon Macdonald and training partner Andrew Gluyas turned their thoughts to the Cox Plate as a lead-up to the VRC Oaks.
Things have not quite gone to plan this spring and the filly heads to the Vase at Moonee Valley instead of the weight-for-age championship.
Go Indy Go put in the worst run of her short career first-up in the Danehill Stakes, finishing last of the 15 runners.
A full veterinary examination failed to detect any problem and the filly improved to run third in the Thousand Guineas Prelude before her 3-length seventh in the group one. "The way the Thousand Guineas was run she really didn't have a chance to catch them," Macdonald said.
