Amelia’s Jewel showed she’s primed for a return to racing with a smooth victory in a 1000-metre barrier trial at Hawkesbury on Monday.
Now under the training of Annabel Neasham and Rob Archibald, the Group 1-winning mare defeated Group 2 placegetter Too Darn Lizzie by 1.2 lengths, with Tommy Berry in the saddle.
She is set to resume at Randwick on Saturday week in the Group 2 Tramway Stakes (1400m).
“She trialled well,” Neasham told Racing.com.
“It was her second trial, so we gave her a bit more of a squeeze and she heads to the Tramway on Saturday week.
“We’re just going to kick off in the Tramway and then we’ll figure out where she goes to after that.
“All options are open at the moment. I think we’ll just see how the first run goes and we’ll go from there.
