Star Western Australia three-year-old filly AMELIA’S JEWEL has been installed as the clear favourite ($2.60) for the inaugural AUD$4m The Quokka to be run at Ascot on Saturday, 15 April over 1200m.
The winner of seven of her eight career starts, AMELIA’S JEWEL returned with a soft victory in the G3 $200,000 Roma Cup on the 1st of April, where she looked bigger, better and stronger than her last campaign that ended with victory in the G1 $1.5m Northerly Stakes.
With the locals seemingly not in the same league, the challengers will come from the eastern raiders, with Queenslander UNCOMMON JAMES rated the main danger at $3.50, while Victorian sprinters ASFOORA and BELLA NIPOTINA are both given winning chances at $5.
