The filly finished third in both her heat and the final of the prestigious Leeton feature last month and after a slight freshen up, the Brucedale trainer is pleased with how the two-year comes into the Rules Club Pace (1740m).
"She trialled good at Junee last week and I like being drawn in behind Russell Campbell's two that both get out of the gate good," Druitt said. "She has thrived on racing and is improving all the time."
Takidah was beaten 3.2 metres in the group three feature and Druitt has another big race in his sights after nominating for the $50,000 Pink Bonnett at Menangle on Saturday.
He's looking to use the race as the final preparation for the group two feature and expects drawing the inside of the second row will suit.
"I think she is going to be a really nice sit-sprint filly," Druitt said.
"It's something I'm not used to having - I've had a couple over the years like Pure Cam and Million Dollar Art - but she is another."
He rate her the best of his five chances.
Youngest son Joe takes the drive on Lenas Art and Saucy Dreams as he searches for his first career win.
However Druitt believes it will be difficult after drawing poorly.
He also lines up Whisper Her Name in the same race as Takidah with eldest son Ross to take the drive.
