The Geoff Duryea-trained sprinter is set to contest the $150,000 Golden Topaz (1200m) with Blaike McDougall aboard.
The classy sprinter also started favourite at his most recent start at Flemington last month but finished near the tail of the field.
It was later discovered that Front Page had suffered from cardiac arrhythmia during the run explaining the below par performance.
The five-year-old trialled to the satisfaction of vets during the week to get the all-clear to target the Swan Hill feature.
