Song And Roses is expected to be hard to beat at Canterbury on Wednesday but Kevin Moses is resigned to missing the Group One Queensland Oaks.

Moses had planned to get the three-year-old to the 2400m fillies Classic in Brisbane on June 4 but has shelved those plans.

"I was hoping to take her up for the Oaks but even if she wins tomorrow I think she would be a long way down (the order of entry)," Moses said.

"Looking at it, there looks like there's going to be plenty of runners in it this year.

"I don't think we'll bother going there yet because tomorrow is the (first) acceptances and I've got to pay $660 then you've got to spend the money to get her up there and she might still not get a run.

"I'd nearly say it's out unless I ring up in the morning and there's only 15 runners still in there for the Oaks."

Song And Roses is the $2.90 favourite for Wednesday's theraces.com.au Handicap (1900m) in front of joint second favourites Reuben Percival and Last Rain at $4.60.

Christian Reith will partner the filly who finished a close second at her most recent start on the Kensington track on May 11 over 1800m.

On that occasion the daughter of Song Of Tara worked forward from back in the field mid-race to take up the running.

She kicked strongly rounding the home turn but was run down by Charing Cross as the pair spaced the third placegetter by 2-1/4 lengths.

Moses believes the filly, who won a maiden at Newcastle earlier this preparation, is knocking on the door of another victory.

"She has done very well since her last start," Moses said.

Meanwhile, trainer Jason Coyle was still undecided on Tuesday as to whether three-year-old Al Aseel would make his debut for the stable in Wednesday's Guineas Restaurant Handicap (1100m).

Al Aseel is by Forestry out of triple Group One-winning mare Shamekha and hasn't raced since he bled during the Listed Dulcify Quality at Randwick in September.

The colt, formerly trained by Gai Waterhouse, has drawn barrier 12 for Wednesday's race but is also among acceptances at Gosford on Thursday where he has 58.5kg in a Benchmark 65.

"He's got a lot of weight at Gosford and a bad barrier at Canterbury so I've just got to weigh things up," Coyle said.
