Mick Kent has taken the easier option with stablemates Philda and Clandon by running them at Moonee Valley on Saturday.

Both horses have run in two heats of the Winter Championship Series, but Kent has baulked at running them in the Listed $200,000 Final (1600m) at Flemington on Saturday week.

"I don't know whether I'll have a runner. (Impressive heat winners) Doubtful Jack and Tiakinui look hard to beat," Kent said.

Philda, a first-up 1200m winner at Moonee Valley on May 29, ran fourth to Jungle Ruler in a Cranbourne 1400m heat of the Winter Championship Series on June 12 before finishing fifth to Doubtful Jack in a 1420m heat at Flemington last Saturday.

Clandon was eighth of nine in the Cranbourne heat three starts back but improved sharply last time out when a length second to Tiakinui in the Ballarat 1600m heat on June 24.

Secret Savings five-year-old Philda will be ridden by three-kilo claiming apprentice Adam McCabe in the Legends After The Last Hcp (1500m) while senior rider Peter Mertens takes the mount on Clandon, a six-year-old Brief Truce mare.

Philda, who has won two of his three starts at Moonee Valley, is $4.80 favourite with TAB Sportsbet with Clandon at $7.50.

Kent will again take on the impressive Ghostmilk with Cameo Minx in the thinkbigstud.com.au Hcp (1500m).

Cameo Minx was runner-up to Ghostmilk over 1400m at Sandown on June 9 and meets the Peter Moody-trained mare 3.5kg better for a 2-3/4 length defeat.

Ghostmilk has since won again over 1400m at Sandown on June 19 and is the shortest priced favourite of the meeting at $1.80 with Cameo Minx at $7.

Kent will also saddle up Cameo Minx's younger brother Countcool in the tattsbet.com Hcp (2040m).

The Viscount colt came from well back to win over 2015m in a 0-62 Handicap at Seymour last start on June 7.

Kent's stable apprentice McCabe will ride both Cameo Minx and Countcool.

Ghostmilk, a half-sister to 2008 English St Leger runner-up Unsung Heroine, was purchased by OTI Racing after having won three of 29 starts in Ireland.

She has won three races, all at Sandown, from seven outings since joining the Moody stable and last year was eighth to Gold Salute in the Winter Championship Final.

The Golan mare hasn't contested any heats of the series this year and is likely to be tried against better company in the spring after her last two explosive finishing efforts.

Apprentice Jacob Noonan will ride Ghostmilk for the first time when she tries to complete a hat-trick on Saturday.
