Forrest will have a four-pronged attack on $10,000 Aldebaran Park Trotters Mobile, (2170m) with Critical Advantage, Sally Em, Orlando Storm and Thebestbourbon.
While it is rare to see a trot race at the Paceway, it is expected to be hotly contested with the winning owner also receiving a free service to Skyvalley.
Skyvalley is widely regarded as one of the best bred and performed trotters ever to stand at stud in Australia.

Forrest pinpointed Orlando Storm as his best winning hope and is set to be partnered by Blake Micallef.
"Orlando Storm has come back from a short spell and has put together two really nice performances at her two most recent starts," Forrest said.
"I expect her to be hard to beat if she does everything right."
Forrest is set to partner Thebestbourbon.
Thebestbourbon finished at the tail of the field at her most recent start after not being on her best behaviour.
"Thebestbourbon was in a group one last start and is only a three-year-old and still learning about her raw ability," he said.
"Stablemates Sally Em and Critical Advantage have been around and are a bit more seasoned.
"I expect them to go OK as well.
"The Alford stable has got one in the race in Patched who is resuming.
"It hasn't run for a while and I haven't been able to find any trial form."
