Moore has decided to run All Too Huiying at Rosehill on Saturday in a bid to earn the necessary prizemoney to ensure the All To Hard colt secures a start in the $2 million Magic Millions Classic at the Gold Coast on January 14.

Moore said the Rosehill race over 1100m on his home track would give All Too Huiying a better chance to qualify for the Gold Coast feature over 1200m.

"I thought the Wyong race looked fairly strong on paper," Moore said.

"He'll have a gallop on Wednesday and then run at Rosehill. If he wins on Saturday he'll be aimed at the Gold Coast.

"He's impressed me greatly over the past few days and looks in great shape “

All Too Huiying trialled well before his debut fourth behind Magic Millions contender Chauffeur over 1100m at Rosehill on December 10 after showing speed to lead.

Moore said All Too Huiying was forced to lead from a wide gate on debut and is hoping he can be ridden off the pace on Saturday.

"We had no alternative but to ride him forward at his first start and he was gallant in defeat,” Moore said.

"Looking at his trial previously at Warwick Farm he came from off the speed and that's how he'll be ridden on Saturday."

John O’Shea has nominated the highly regarded Denman colt Coorg for Saturday’s Rosehill event.

Coorg started a short priced favourite on debut when runner up behind Chauffeur at Rosehill on December 10.
