Vision And Power will restart his campaign in Saturday's Lord Mayor's Cup with trainer Joe Pride keener than ever to get another Group One victory from the veteran.

Pride was devastated when Vision And Power was named the emergency for the Queen Elizabeth Stakes on April 23, the race he had been set for all autumn.

The terms of the race favoured horses with higher prize money from their past 10 starts and did not take into account the benchmark rating.

Vision And Power failed to get a run in the Queen Elizabeth and was home in his box when two horses were scratched during the afternoon due to the wet track, conditions that suit him ideally.

The Group One Doomben Cup in Brisbane later this month is the new target for the eight-year-old.

"We didn't really have a plan B for him, the Queen Elizabeth was his race," Pride said.

"I just couldn't understand why a dual Group One winner did not get a start over some of the other horses in the race.

"Why have a benchmark if you don't use it.

"We will target the Doomben Cup now."

In an ironic twist, the $100,000 Lord Mayor's Cup (1900m) is a quality handicap meaning Vision And Power will be weighted highly.

The winner of the 2009 George Ryder Stakes and Doncaster Mile, Vision And Power finished third in last year's Lord Mayor's Cup before running four lengths seventh in the Doomben Cup (2020m) won by Metal Bender.

The Lord Mayor's Cup meeting is being held at Canterbury this year while Rosehill hosts the annual caravan and camping show.

This has necessitated the race being shortened by 100 metres with no 2000m chute at Canterbury.

It will be a rare Saturday meeting at the south western Sydney track which is used extensively for midweek fixtures.

The Australian Turf Club is promoting it as a family day with many free activities for children.
