Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 24 Journalists Share Posted April 24 Australasian Oaks contender, Beautiful Jewel. (Photo: Brett Holburt – Racing Photos) Trainer Travis Doudle is hopeful a long-range plan will pay off on Saturday when Beautiful Jewel lines up in the Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m) at Morphettville. The filly, by Highland Reel, has had three runs in South Australia since transferring from Ciaron Maher’s stable, placing twice including a strong second in the Listed Clare Lindop Stakes (1600m). She was unplaced last time out in the Group 3 Auraria Stakes (1800m) on April 12. “She’s been set for this right the way through,” Doudle told Racing.com. “She ran a really good race in the Clare Lindop. Last start didn’t go to plan in the Auraria. “She had a pretty hard run, so we’ve been pretty light on her leading into the Oaks and she’s bounced back really nicely, so we’re hoping for a good show. “After 100 metres, we knew we were in big trouble, we were stuck four or five wide with no cover … she loomed up at the furlong but just ran out of steam.” Horse racing news View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
