SPRING CARNIVAL KICKS OFF AT EAGLE FARM

By Graham Potter | Thursday, October 8, 2026

The five-week Ladbrokes Spring Carnival kicks off at Eagle Farm this Saturday with the running of the $125 000 Queensland Cup, a Listed race which will be contested over 2400m.

The Ciaron Maher trained Amplify heads north to try and go one better than she did when finished second in the Group 3 Colin Stephen Quality over the Queensland Cup distance at Rosehill two weeks ago.

That result came on the back of her fourth place finish in the Group 3 Newcastle Cup over 2300m behind the very smart Aethelwulf, who was saluting for the fourth time in a row in the Newcastle Cup, and who would go on to finish second in the Group 2 Metropolitan behind Juja Kibo.

In the run before that, Amplify finished third in the Tatts Cup over 2400m at Randwick so, she clearly has been knocking on the door quite loudly, and she should be fully primed for Saturday’s contest.

Amplify is currently the $3.50 race favourite. She will be ridden by Angela Jones.
