Patrick Moloney has taken the next step to a new-season comeback with a return to trackwork riding this week.

Moloney was leading the Melbourne apprentices' premiership when he fell in a race at Flemington on April 5, breaking both ankles which required surgery.

His rehabilition is ahead of schedule and on Monday he rode three horses in trackwork.

He did the same on Tuesday.

"I've been doing five to six sessions a day involving cycling, cross trainer, a lot of swimming and weights and it's paid dividends for me," Moloney said.

"I didn't pull up sore after trackwork on Monday and Tuesday, so the body is really good."

The 20-year-old expects to ride trackwork for a month before a likely race comeback a couple of weeks into the new season.

"It will be up to me and Dad (trainer Gerard Moloney)," he said.

"We'll discuss as it comes closer but it looks like I'll be doing trackwork for a month before I race ride at least.

"Just so that I'm prepared the best, physically and mentally, and so that I've got to confidence in my body that it's going to hold up raceday and I'm going to do the right thing by the owners that put me on their horses."

Moloney has ridden 23 city winners this season and was five wins ahead in the Melbourne apprentices' premiership at the time of his injury.

Katelyn Mallyon and Jye McNeil have since gone past Moloney having ridden 26 winners, while Harry Coffey has 25 wins.

Moloney said next season's apprentices' premiership would be one of his goals.
