An acceptor for the $200,000 Group 3 Kembla Grange Classic (1600m) tomorrow, Razeta instead will contest the $300,00 Kewney Stakes at Flemington at the same distance, and Blake Shinn will ride her.
"She goes back to the scene of the crime," Lees said this afternoon, referring to the filly's victory in the Listed Desirable Stakes (1400m) at the Melbourne Cup carnival last November.
Fitted by two Sydney runs this campaign, Razeta is tackling the 'mile' for the first time.
"Her first run back was good when beaten only two lengths in the Group 2 Light Fingers Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on February 11, but then her next run there a fortnight later was inconclusive when 10th in the Group 1 Surround Stakes (1400m), but she was little more than three lengths from the winner," Lees said.
"It's the right time to try her at the 1600m, and she was strong at the end of the 1400m when she won at Flemington last spring."
Lees is yet to decide where comeback stayer Almania runs as he is an acceptor for both the Benchmark 78 Handicap (1900m) at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday, and $200,000 Listed Canberra Cup (2000m) on Monday.
"Unfortunately, he has drawn poorly in both races," Lees said.
"My current thinking is that he will go to Rosehill, and Dylan Gibbons will take 1.5kg off his back."
Almania was off the scene for just over two years when an excellent third to Jo Jo Was A Man in the Maroubra Mile at Royal Randwick on New Year's Eve.
He was subsequently fourth to Irish Legend in a Benchmark 88 Handicap (2000m) at Randwick on January 21, and then third to Glory Daze in a similar race over the same distance there on February 25.
"Almania raced a bit keenly at his last run, and drops back in class but goes up 3.5kg if he runs at Rosehill," Lees said.
Lees also debuts another import Sir Lamorak (Nash Rawiller) in the Benchmark 88.
The lightly-raced five-year-old has raced only twice in Australia when prepared in Melbourne, and hasn't started since finishing a distant last of 10 to the talented White Marlin in a Benchmark 78 Handicap (2000m) at Caulfield last October on a heavy track.
"Sir Lamorak has had two trials since coming to our stable, and is probably looking for further," Lees said.
"But this race is a nice starting point for him."
Lees has made a couple of gear changes, putting a tongue tie on Sir Lamorak, who will also wear ear muffs pre-race.
. Lees has two acceptors at Eagle Farm on Saturday, but Zippy Power is a doubtful runner in the Benchmark 78 Handicap (2406m).
Tavisan (Andrew Mallyon) rides Tavisan in the Open Handicap (1000m), and the gelding is drawn well with only six rivals.
The seven-year-old has returned to racing in fine style, winning a 1050m Handicap on the Gold Coast synthetic track first-up on February 4 before going under narrowly with 62kg (conceding the winner 6kg) in a Sunshine Coast Handicap (1000m) 22 days later.
"Tavisan is in good form, and will get every chance putting himself up on the speed," Lees said.
. Ruling Polytrack Provincial-Midway Championship favorite Loch Eagle is likely to contest next Thursday's 1200m Qualifier at Gosford, with the first two placegetters securing starts in the $500,000 Final (1400m) at Randwick on April 8.
