Moody accepted with the five-year-old mare after satisfactory trackwork at Caulfield on Tuesday morning.
Black Caviar is going for 21 straight wins in the traditional South Australian sprint after which she will travel to Ascot in England for the Royal Ascot meeting from June 19 to 23. Moody said last week that he will leave as late as possible with Black Caviar for the UK meeting.
She faces eight other runners, none of whom will remotely trouble her, with TAB Sportsbet's market of Black Caviar at $1.04 and the next Go The Knuckle at $21 reflecting the field.
The presence of Black Caviar is expected to sell out Morphettville as it did when she raced in the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes over 1200m for her 20th win on April 28.
The course has not seen crowds like it since 1956 when Queen Elizabeth II visited the racecourse according to local reports.
