Richard and Chantelle Jolly have kept their options open with top South Australian mare See You In Heaven in Melbourne this weekend.

See You In Heaven is among 25 nominations in the $1m Toorak Handicap (1600m) at Caulfield while they've also entered the four-year-old in the Ladie's Day Vase, a 1600m Group 3 feature for mares.

"At this stage we're still going there (Toorak),'' Jolly said.

"She gets a penalty in the mare's race and doesn't get in there too well,'' he said.

The Toorak Handicap is a race loaded with talent headlined by star West Australian mare Amelia's Jewel, exciting Queensland galloper Antino and classy Tasmanian The Inevitable.

"If she could come out and run a place it would add value,'' Jolly said.

"You should never go to a race because you're worried about one horse, I've learnt that over the years.

"We'd be ecstatic if she ran a place, you're not going to do that if you don't try,'' he said.

Fellow SA mare Party Princess, trained by Andrew Gluyas, is also among nominations for the Ladies' Day Vase coming off a solid effort behind Amelia's Jewel in a fast run Stocks Stakes at Moonee Valley last time out.
