The daughter of Gallant Guru will travel to Christchurch tomorrow before lining up in a rating 85 2000m at Motukarara on Thursday, her co-trainer Brian Anderton said.
The 3yr-old will stay in Christchurch for the next week, then she will get picked up on the way through to travel north with Natuzzi late next week.
Anderton said a trip to Hastings for the Lowland Stakes last Saturday, won by Miss Selby, was considered, but the travel ruled that option out.
''We would have had to go up to Hastings and back again,'' he said.
Include has thrived since her comfortable Southland Guineas win on February 15.
''She's been bouncing around the paddock.''
Include's performance in the New Zealand Oaks, along with her recovery, would help the Andertons and owners Wayne and Karen Stewart decide whether to press on to Randwick in Sydney for the Australian Oaks next month.
