The three-year-old Real Impact gelding has had one trial since his first preparation where he had two seconds and then broke his maiden in September.
Since then, Robert and Luke Price have been plotting towards summer success, which would see Count De Rupee move to the Magic Millions qualifier at Wyong on December 16.
"All going well, we're trying to aim him at that Magic Millions series," Robert Price said. "Luke picked out a fairly ambitious path for him, so we just need him to come back through the weekend well.
"He had a hoof abscess, but otherwise, he's going well and we're looking forward to seeing some more improvement."
It comes as the Price team missed out on a place in the Summer Provincial Series final with its three-pronged attack at Wyong on Thursday.
Six-year-old El Magnificence set a demanding pace out front, leaving stablemate Against The Tide Hard ridden on the turn.
In the end, Kim Waugh's Trajection, with Tommy Berry aboard, got the bob, finishing over the top of Kristen Buchanan's Margie Bee, with Edward Cummings' Tri Nations third.
"She loves coming with a big run," Waugh told Sky Racing.
"The pace was quite strong and I thought halfway down the straight she was just going to get jammed out, there were a lot of horses and she was getting some small gaps.
"He sort of had to take his time to get through there, but once she got through she was very strong.
"She's a really handy mare and she's tough, she never knows how to give up."
Meanwhile, Accoy could also be part of the Prices' Summer Provincial Series, despite stepping out to 2000m for Saturday's Benchmark 64 at Kembla Grange.
Deep into his preparation, Accoy has been headed by narrow margins over 1600m and 1500m and can still figure in the $150,000 Wyong final over a mile on January 2.
Among their other starters is Vera's Deel, a filly having her first start after three trials.
Eddie is taking an Easy return
Stakes winner and Group 1 placegetter Easy Eddie has been through the wringer over the past 12 months and it is testament to his resilience that he is back at the races.
The six-year-old has been off the scene since last year's Melbourne spring carnival following a health scare that trainer Joe Pride said almost claimed the sprinter's life.
"He got a virus and he ended up developing pneumonia," Pride said. "He also got colitis so he was on death's door. He was in a bad way."
The fighting qualities Easy Eddie has shown on the racetrack helped him pull to through and he will resume alongside stablemate Passage Of Time in the Listed Starlight Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill on Saturday.
Even with three barrier trials, Pride expects him to need the run after his lengthy and dramatic layoff.
Pride is anticipating a competitive performance from Passage Of Time, against a tough field headed by the James Cummings' pair of class sprinter Viridine and the emerging Varda. AAP
