Promising filly Mont Fleuri will get another chance to head north for a Brisbane campaign after failing in her comeback run from injury at Flemington two weeks ago.

Trainer Lee Freedman was hoping that the daughter of Cape Cross would already be in Queensland for the carnival but kept her home after her unflattering last-start eighth to Dubleanny.

Freedman's racing manager Sam Pritchard-Gordon said blinkers would go back on the filly in the hope of an improved run in Saturday's Sportsbet.com.au Thing Handicap (1200m) at Caulfield.

"She can be a bit tricky and last time overraced early and then finished the race off only fair," Pritchard-Gordon said.

"Had she been in a bit of form she would be in Queensland now but she will get another chance.

"She will have to run a much improved race but I think Caulfield suits her."

Mont Fleuri's only win was at her race debut at Caulfield in March last year when the stable flagged her as potentially its best two-year-old.

She showed promise in the spring, placing third to Irish Lights and Set For Fame in the Thousand Guineas Prelude (1400m), and was beaten just over length when fifth to Majestic Music in the Group Two Edward Manifold Stakes (1600m).

She had fetlock chips removed after losing form at her next two starts in the Thousand Guineas and Wakeful Stakes.

"We were really excited about her but she never carried it through last spring," Pritchard-Gordon said.

He said her first-up run could be forgiven as she hadn't raced for six months after the fetlock surgery.

Pritchard-Gordon said Mont Fleuri was a finicky eater which also made it a challenge to get the best out of her.

Chris Symons, who is the only jockey to win on Mont Fleuri, retains the ride.

Among her rivals on Saturday is the Peter Snowden-trained Screen who confounded the stable when she finished behind Mont Fleuri in second last place at Flemington when also resuming.

Paul Snowden said that Screen overraced for the first time in her four runs and would have a gear change and race without winkers on Saturday.

"After they went a furlong (200m) we knew she was going to fall in a hole," Snowden said.

"It is not in her nature to overrace like she did but she came through the race okay and has done super since."

Screen was also on the comeback trail from injury after being badly galloped on and stripping one of her heels half-off at Moonee Valley in December.

At her two previous starts the Lonhro filly had won at the Valley and at Kilmore.
