Fresh from a winning treble at Albury on Boxing Day, Scott will head to Corowa with last start winners Halo Warrior and La Sante.
Halo Warrior faces a rise in grade when he contests the $22,000 Class Two Hcp, (1300m) with Kayla Nisbet booked to ride.
The four-year-old gelding resumed from a lengthy spell to score first-up at Albury earlier this month.
Scott expects Halo Warrior to be ultra competitive once again.
"I think the horse has got a fair bit of upside to him," Scott said.
"He's had a few little issues and can get a bit hot and revved up on race day when he gets behind the gates.
"But he has come a long way in the short time I've had the horse.
"He was an up and about horse and just needed to relax a bit.
"Hopefully he has come on from his first-up win and it does look a nice race for him."

Stablemate La Sante is set to contest the $22,000 Benchmark 66 Hcp, (1200m) with Jack Martin booked to ride.
La Sante is set to form part of Scott's assault on the Country Championships at Wagga in February.
"La Sante has a rating of 61 and the handicapper seems to think you will need a rating or around 62 to qualify for the Championships," she said.
"Hopefully we can get another win or at least get a few more rating points and he will then go for a break."
