"She's progressed well in her first campaign, Ben Melham worked her on Saturday morning, she worked good, she looks good and we're very happy with her.
The name Melham will be in the form guide for Knobelas, but which Melham rides will come down to her allotted weight.
"I'm not sure if J Kah (Melham) or Ben Melham rides, I'm not sure on the weight yet.
"She's an average track worker, better on race day, and I think she'll be very well suited.
"The last two wins have been good."
Price suggested Knobelas would probably head to the paddock after Saturday's race, and while stakes targets are enticing, the pragmatic trainer is happy to take things slow.
"She'll be a good chance on Saturday but then likely have a break," Price said.
"We'll be happy to build her rating at this point. I don't think you can keep going and going through the Spring."
