The Adelaide carnival reaches its climax this Saturday with the running of the $1 million Group 1 Goodwood, where star WA mare Amelia's Jewel (pictured) will get a crack at redemption following her second successive Quokka defeat.

Support races at Morphettville include the Cummings Stakes (formerly R.A. Lee) for the milers, the SA Fillies Classic, the Proud Miss for the sprinting mares, the David Coles AM Stakes for the two-year-olds and the Centaurea Stakes for the middle-distance mares.

The Queensland carnival warms up with the Hollindale Stakes at the Sunshine Coast, where rivals will be pleased that front-running machine Pride Of Jenni is safely in the padddock. The Gold Cosat Guineas, Ken Russell Classic, Gold Coast Bracelet, Silk Stocking, ATC Cup, Gold Coast Cup and Bat Out Of Hell are on the undercard.

Gosford takes centre stage in NSW with the running of the $500,000 Coast, the Gosford Gold Cup and the Takeover Target.
