The three-year-old colt broke through for his first win a fortnight ago with a storming run, beating the Anthony Mountney-trained Wolves by a half length on Thursday last week.
With Andrew Adkins aboard, Construct opened up at $9 with Sportsbet in his first chance in black-type racing. Stablemate Revivalist, to be ridden by Tommy Berry, was listed a the same price.
"Thrown in the deep end a bit there, but I thought his maiden win was pretty conclusive," Snowden said.
"And his race before that in good class had been quite solid as well. It's a steep rise in class, but I'm still confident that he'll have the ability to be competitive here."
Richard and Michael Freedman's Tiger Of Malay is a $3.10 favourite, but will carry 61kg for the Saturday metropolitan-level meeting.
