Morris has Aalesund ($4.50) entered for the first heat of the Bathurst RSL Club Soldiers Saddle (1730 metres) at the Bathurst Paceway, having won at Menangle in her last start on Tuesday, December 8.

Morris believes the race is a suitable one for her filly.

"She's actually been racing really well at Menangle and she's been racing really consistently, so we'll be taking her up to Bathurst because that race looked quite suitable for her," she said.

"Hopefully she can run another good race for us."

After drawing barrier five in the front row, Morris said the draw isn't ideal, but believe she's versatile enough to adapt.

"She's got some gate speed she can use or she can come from behind, so it would've been nicer if she drew closer to the fence, but we've got to take what we've been given," she said.

"She should surely run another good race.

"She's raced in some bigger races, but she's probably not up to at this stage in her career. In the class she's been racing in, she's definitely been very consistent and can hold her own.

"As she gets a bit older, hopefully she'll get a bit stronger and that breeds tends to do that. Hopefully she can turn out to be a nice mare."

Aalesund is one of 10 starters drawn for the first heat of the evening at 7.03pm, with the David Hewitt trained and driven Racing Sea the favourite, backed at $2.25 odds.

Hewitt also has the favourite in the second heat of the evening, starting at 8pm, in Roscommon Rose ($2.75), however, Scott Hewitt will drive the bay filly.

The first of the nine-race meeting gets underway at 6.37pm.
