A sprint race at Moonee Valley on Saturday could provide a springboard into Melbourne's final stakes event of the season for Listed winner Octavia.

The Mike Moroney-trained three-year-old filly resumes in Saturday's Simpson Construction Handicap (1200m) for her first start since claiming the Kevin Hayes Stakes at Caulfield in February.

The daughter of Holy Roman Emperor is on a path to another stakes race over 1200m at Caulfield so long as her first couple of starts this campaign are up to expectations.

"We thought we would bring her back in these three-year-old races and if she's going well we might have a crack at the Bletchingly Stakes third-up," Moroney's racing manager Anthony Feroce said.

"Hopefully she can go into the Bletchingly very fit."

The Group Three Bletchingly Stakes, run at weight-for-age, is on July 27.

Octavia has won three of her seven starts and missed a place only once.

The filly is already a winner over the 1200m at Moonee Valley and Moroney has elected to use a claiming apprentice on Saturday, with Tom Sadler to take 2kg off Octavia's 57.5kg impost.

She will carry 2.5kg less than the in-form She Can Skate who has won her only two starts this campaign including the Listed Creswick Stakes (1200m) at Flemington.

The Geoff Wheeler-trained She Can Skate, to be ridden by the trainer's son Reece, was the obvious danger, Feroce said.

"She Can Skate is the one to beat, but we have got a weight advantage on her. They haven't claimed and we have claimed, so that is going to help," Feroce said.

She Can Skate and Octavia have already met with She Can Skate finishing second and Octavia third in a race won by Miss Softhands at Caulfield in December.
