While conditions are against Royal Insignia, Begg could not be happier with how the four-year-old is progressing fitness wise and wants the sprinter to get some regular racing under the belt.
Begg said Saturday's draw was more advantageous for his sprinter.
"I don't think he was advantaged being on the inside of them last time," Begg said.
"I'm not a big fan of them being on the inside down the Flemington straight, but the horse, he's going really well.
"He's not as advantaged at the weights this time around because the Bobbie Lewis was a quality handicap and the Gilgai is set weights and penalties.
"He looks fantastic, but the problem with him is that you can't get continuity in races.
"He went a month between his first and second up runs and he then has gone three weeks again for his next run."
