Deciding when to take time off is always a delicate balancing act for a jockey.

A break from riding, no matter how short, can have a major impact if things go against a jockey while away from racing.

Opportunities to ride the next star may be lost while trainers can strike up a new partnership with another rider, pushing a jockey down the stable's pecking order.

Daniel Moor took the chance to have a short break in Bali and will attempt to thrust his name back under the notice of trainers when he rides at Saturday's Sandown meeting.

"I usually don't take a break but my manager was getting married so we had to plan it and bite the bullet and take a week off," Moor said.

Moor immediately returned to the daily grind, heading to Flemington to ride in jumpouts just hours after landing back in Melbourne in the early hours of Friday morning.

The jockey made the perfect return to racing the same afternoon when he booted home Big Brom for trainer Rebecca Standen at his first ride back at Geelong.

But Moor knows he has to impress with his two rides at Sandown, especially when he partners unbeaten youngster Seenaan in the Samson Handicap (1400m).

Moor also had the ride on Seenaan's Mick Price-trained stablemate Pressing but lost it to Brad Rawiller despite partnering the colt to a debut win at Caulfield.

Moor won on Seenaan at Flemington and has retained the mount on the Murtajill colt for his first test at 1400m.

"At his first start, he wanted to wander about a bit up the straight but the key here will be him getting back to racing around a bend," Moor said.

"I know Mick will have him fit and no doubt he's come on since his last run. It's great Mick has given me another chance on him."

Long-time supporter Anthony Freedman has booked Moor to ride Inishowen in the Le Pine Funerals Plate (1600m).

The Encosta De Lago filly has been caught off the pace in slowly run races at her past two starts but horse and jockey will rekindle a partnership that brought a comfortable win in a Geelong maiden at their last outing.

"She was really dominant at Geelong and I'm convinced 1600 metres or further is her right trip," Moor said.

"She just needs a little bit of pace on to be right in it. I think she's a filly with a bit of ability."
