Danielle only recently reacquired her jockey's licence after taking a break from riding as she started a young family with leading hoop Blaike McDougall.
The mother of two last rode in July 2016.
Her first ride back was aboard the Norm Loy-trained Waiting For A Mate over the recent Albury carnival.
Danielle gets a golden opportunity to notch her first winner since her comeback aboard Helcolore.

Helcolore has been ultra-consistent this preparation and has only missed running a place once in five starts since resuming in December.
That was as his most recent run in the Country Magic over the Albury carnival where the gelding refused to settle.
Donna said she expected Helcolore to rebound strongly in the $22,000 Class 2 Hcp, (1400m).
Danielle will use her full claim of 4kg on the gelding.
"Danielle had a few rides for me before she had the kids," Donna said.
"But this is the first time she has rode a horse for me that is in with a genuine chance.
"He is not the easiest horse to ride and even with Blaike riding him last-start he still just wanted to get to the front and run.
"I think that was mainly because he was a bit fresh at Albury becasue it had been a while between runs.
"But on the quick back-up and with Danielle's claim I expect him to be hard to beat."
