The Kembla Grange filly produced a game effort to run eighth in a race dominated by the sport's top colts at Rosehill Gardens.

Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott's In The Congo led from the start to claim the victory, with Godolphin's Anamoe second and Chris Waller's Coastwatch third.

Kiama's Matthew Sandblom is a part-owner of In The Congo, the breeder enjoying a bumper weekend.

The businessman also owns a stake in Wild Ruler, the horse claiming the Group One Moir Stakes on Friday night before securing a start in the Everest.

The fast tempo and track conditions during the Golden Rose largely neutralised Jamaea's devastating sprint, with horses struggling to make up ground down the straight.

The filly is nominated for Saturday's Group One Flight Stakes, however it is unlikely she backs up in the 1600 metres race.

Instead, Jamaea will likely head to the paddock before a trip to the Gold Coast for January's Magic Millions.

"She was good, I was happy with her run," Price said. "The track was so fast, it never suited her.

"We're half a chance of going to the Flight Stakes, but we don't want to wreck her for one race. It's not a race we had been set for.

"I think we're better off looking after her. There's a $2 million race in the summer, we've got options everywhere for her."

Jamaea is the leader in a talented crop of emerging horses at the Price stable, with Count De Rupee and Verbek also likely to feature in high-profile races throughout the spring.

A two-time Group Two winner, the trainers are determined to nurture the three-year-old and ensure she enjoys a lengthy, and lucrative, career as a racehorse.

The big goal is to win a Group One, with the Surround Stakes in February likely her next chance to tick that box.

A slight filly with plenty of heart, Price is prepared to manage her workload to ensure she doesn't burn out as a three-year-old.

"The best thing to do is look after her. She's a little filly with a big heart, we don't want to go too hard.

"Hopefully she's got a lot more improvement in her. We've got the Invitation, if we're going to stretch her out, there's the Golden Eagle next year.

"The main thing for us is to keep her altogether, look after her and she'll more than pay her way."

Jamaea's performance came as stablemate Cuban Royale finished third in the Midway on Saturday.

The gelding is approaching career-best form as a seven-year-old, with Robert and Luke Price eyeing a place in the $1 million The Hunter in November.

The co-trainers are also set to feature in the new Four Pillars race, with a slot holder choosing stakes-placed gelding Verbek as his runner.

The three-year-old is likely to contest a maiden on Randwick's Kensington track on Wednesday.
