sarah07 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 On Saturday, star jockey Damien Oliver is scheduled to steer Commanding Jewel at Moonee Valley in the Super VOBIS Three-Year-Old Fillies’ Plate over 1200 metres. Commanding Jewel got a victory in Swan Hill maiden race on August 13 with partner Jamie Mott, but the rider gave way to Oliver and will ride in Cairns on the same day. Oliver was also booked by trainer Leon Corsten to agai, ride Awesome Bro in the Listed Essendon Nissan McKenzie Stakes (1200m). Awesome Bro and Oliver won at Sandown last August 8. Oliver’s services will continue for Caulfield trainer Tony Vasil for one of his contenders in the Listed Carlyon Stakes (1000m). Vasil has nominated Green Birdie and Veewap in the $120,000 race with the trainer to make a decision on Oliver’s mount at acceptance time on Wednesday. The champion jockey will ride the Chris Hyland-trained Crabs in the 2500-metre Benchmark 95 Handicap (2500m) while Adelaide trainer Richard Jolly has booked him to ride Draw Forward in the $80,000 Dr Sheahan Plate (1200m).
