Already a Stakes winner on debut two weeks ago, Amelia’s Jewel showed a blistering level of speed to take the 1100m Gr.3 Gimcrack Stakes at Perth’s Ascot Racecourse on Saturday.
The SIYOUNI two-year-old, owned and bred by Peter Walsh of Amelia Park Racing, won going away by two-and-a-half lengths. She remains favourite for the A$500,000 Gr.2 Karrakatta Plate at the same track next month.
“She’s improved out of sight fitness-wise from her first run in the Supremacy Stakes,” trainer Simon Miller told The West Australian Newspaper. “She’s bombproof. I didn’t really worry about the wide gate. I told Paddy (Carberry) to just let the race unfold up front. I knew she would be able to zap them in the straight.
“She’s totally professional,” Miller added. “Nothing fazes her. She’s so responsive. I’ve had some really good juveniles and this one is capable of measuring up interstate.”
Amelia’s Jewel is the third Stakes winner for SIYOUNI in Australia.
