Champion jockey Glen Boss is keen to ride at Caulfield on Wednesday after his corked thigh improved significantly overnight.
Boss was kicked by his mount, two-year-old first starter Vicomte, in the mounting yard before the opening event at Flemington on Saturday.
Boss slid off the colt after he reared up but Vicomte then lashed out at the jockey.
The injury proved costly as Boss was stood down from six mounts at Flemington, three of which - Belgietto, Flourishing and Aloha - were winners.
His percentages and riding fees on the day amounted to around $8000.
Boss also missed Sunday's Moonee Valley twilight meeting where he had been engaged for six rides.
"He said he woke up in less pain and discomfort than he thought he would be in," Boss' manager Brendan Cormick said.
"He told me he was quite surprised with how he felt today compared to yesterday and he's keen to ride at Caulfield on Wednesday which will be his last day of riding before returning early in the New Year.
Boss has already planned to take three weeks off and go on a cruise with his family after the Caulfield meeting.
But he will have to gain a medical certificate to clear him to ride.
"He's probably going to test himself on Wednesday morning," Cormick said.
"He wants to give it a chance to settle down.
"He's been icing it and doing the things you are supposed to do.
"The bruising still has to come out but he's optimistic he'll be fit to ride as long as he can assume the crouching position."
