Country trainer Dan O'Sullivan said he would not change anything as Too Darn Discreet looks to extend her winning sequence at Flemington.
The A$1 million (S$871,000) Group 1 Crown Oaks (2,500m) on Nov 7 will come as the Too Darn Hot daughter's fourth win on end if successful.
Getting the ball rolling with a maiden win over 1,500m at Sandown on Sept 18, Too Darn Discreet progressed to a feature win in the Group 2 Edward Manifold Stakes (1,600m) at Flemington on Oct 5, followed by the Group 3 Ethereal Stakes (2,000m) at Caulfield on Oct 19.
"I'll tell you after Thursday if it has been the perfect prep, but I wouldn't change anything," said O'Sullivan, who is based in Ballarat in Victoria, Australia.
"I'm glad we didn't go down on Saturday for the (Group 2) Wakeful Stakes because she'd had the run over 2,000 metres before that.
"She galloped really well on Saturday morning, had a top-up gallop on Tuesday. She's got a good draw, barrier three, and she should get a good economical run from there - she's ready to go."
