Perth’s shining star Amelias Jewel has been allocated barrier nine, among a field of 17 contenders for this Saturday’s Group 1 Goodwood event at Morphettville.
Top Australian bookmakers have placed Amelia Jewel as the $3.80 favourite to break her four-race losing streak on May 11.
Before moving to Annabel Neasham’s stable in Sydney, the Simon Miller-trained Group 1 winner will represent Western Australia under the guidance of jockey Damian Lane.
Amelias Jewel has faced two tough defeats in this current spell, finishing second in the Roma Cup and the Quokka.
Her last triumph dates back to September of last year, when she narrowly bested Pride Of Jenni in the Stocks Stakes at The Valley.
Among the challengers standing against Amelias Jewel are three promising three-year-olds: Oscars Fortune (barrier eight), Skybird (barrier five), and Stretan Angel (barrier seven).
Meanwhile, Learning To Fly, who finished as runner-up in the Sangster race, drew gate 14.
Amelias Jewel faces a task ahead as she navigates her wide barrier position and competes against a top-level field if she hopes to emerge triumphant on Saturday.
