Watch Rose Trot, winner of five races, is the best-performed trotter in a 1700m (mobile) race for mares and fillies today.
She won at Invercargill and Oamaru early this year.
Chalmers put her aside in April to recover from foot problems.
"She has had a lot of foot problems and won those last two races on sheer ability," Chalmers said.
"She was out for about six weeks and I think I have got on top of her problems with the help of the farrier. Being back at the beach [at Waikouaiti] is also a big help," he said.
Chalmers was based at Invercargill for a time this season.
Lindt, a rival for Watch Rose Trot, won a workout at Forbury Park on Saturday.
El Nino, Dying For A Chance and Cup Day Spur also won workouts in preparation for the meeting today.
The trio are trained by Craig Buchan.
El Nino won by a length from Easton All Action, who has won her last two races. The pair clash today. El Nino was runner-up to No Courage Russell at Forbury Park two starts back.
Dying For A Chance has not raced since January.
• Ngaire Buchan has her first race drive today. She will team with Terraeyes (race 7).
• Carter's Rocket, the 2yr-old who won a workout by six lengths at Rangiora on Saturday, has been entered for Addington on Friday night.
The Elsu-Pocket Rose gelding trained by Cran Dalgety won a trial at Rangiora last Wednesday.
Dream Out Loud and San Rafaella, trial winners the same day, have been entered for the Rangiora meeting on Saturday. Dream Out Loud has also been entered at Addington on Friday.
San Rafaella began racing in December and won her first three starts. She was put aside in March by trainer Steven McRae after two further starts.
Dream Out Loud won at Forbury Park and Invercargill from as many starts in April.
• Cowgirls N Indians, last-start winner of the 2yr-old filly section of the Harness Jewels, has been entered for a heat of the Australasian Breeders Crown at Cambridge on Thursday. Her trainer, Ian Small, has Bagger Vance in the heat for 2yr-old colts and geldings. The son of Falcon Seelster-Corbie, thus a brother to Agios Nikolaos, was a winner at Alexandra Park in May.
