Rodd replaces Damian Lane, who finished sixth on the filly in group 3 company at Moonee Valley a fortnight ago.
Loved Up clipped the heels of another runner approaching the 600-metre mark but still finished a credible 4.6 lengths behind the Peter Morgan and Craig Widdison-trained Eloping.
The daughter of Nicconi faces a crackerjack field of sprinters in the Thoroughbred Club Stakes (1200 metres), including reigning Blue Diamond winner and Golden Slipper runner-up Earthquake.
Earthquake resumed last month and has had two starts this preparation, finishing third both times in group 2 company.
The Darley filly has been installed the $1.90 favourite in pre-post TAB fixed odds markets.
Loved Up is given little chance to add to her three career wins and is a rank outsider in the nine-horse field at $41.
