Glen Boss will ride the Peter Moody-trained Headway in next Saturday's $3.5 million Golden Slipper Stakes at Rosehill.
Boss, who has won the Slipper twice on late pick-up rides, Flying Spur in 1995 and Sebring in 2008, was on Saturday confirmed as the rider of the Charge Forward filly.
"I'm glad to be on her. She's a tough little thing, she's won her last three," Boss said at Caulfield where he continued his good form with a win aboard the Mick Price-trained four-year-old mare Royal Charades.
Headway, raced by Tony Santic's Makybe Racing And Breeding Pty Ltd Syndicate, has improved each time she has raced.
She was runner-up to Rock The Moment in a Seymour two-year-old maiden (1100m) on January 22 before winning over 1200m in a mid-weeker at Sandown and then taking out the Listed Chairman's Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield in February.
Last start Headway took out the Group Three Sweet Embrace Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on March 14.
Boss hasn't previously ridden the filly who gives the Moody stable a strong second string in the Slipper behind Group One Blue Diamond Stakes winner Reward For Effort who'll be ridden by Luke Nolen.
Nolen flew to Sydney to ride the Exceed And Excel colt in a Randwick barrier trial on Friday which he won from the Steve Richards-trained Slipper rival Rostova.
Nolen has won two races on Headway who was ridden by Chris Munce when she won the Sweet Embrace, but on Friday chose his Blue Diamond-winning mount Reward For Effort as his Slipper ride after discussing it with Moody.
