Front Page is the $5 second favourite for the Koscuiszko behind the Brett Cavanough-trained Its Me.
Meanwhile, Lord Von Costa will be thrown into the deep end when he contests the $500,000 Premier Stakes (1200m) at Randwick.
The group 2 feature will also see the return of Nature Strip who was had his colours lowered by Gytrash when resuming earlier this month.
Lord Von Costa is not expected to trouble the world's highest rated sprinter and is considered a 200/1 chance.
Scott said Lord Von Costa usually performs best second-up from a spell and will benefit from the hitout.
