Royal Ascot officials have confirmed Australian sprinters in England for Royal Ascot can have access to the famous racetrack just four days before the start of the prestigious carnival.

There is no trackwork at Royal Ascot and very rarely does the club give permission for the course to be used for trackwork although those protocols were relaxed in 2022 when Aussie sprinters Nature Strip, Home Affairs and Artorius had gallops on the course on the Friday before the carnival.

It worked for the Chris Waller-trained Nature Strip who scored a memorable win in the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes on day one of Royal Ascot.

Trainer Bjorn Baker is hoping lightning strikes twice with $12 million earner Overpass likely to follow the Nature Strip path into the King Charles III Stakes (a1000m) on June 16.

"If we can get permission to give Overpass a track gallop at Royal Ascot we will definitely take him there,'' Baker said.

Overpass is among five Australian-trained sprinters on target for Royal Ascot next month.

Chris Waller will be represented by brilliant mares Joliestar (image) (Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stake, 1200m, June 20) and Generosity (King Charles III Stakes), Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott have Lady Of Camelot (King Charles III Stakes, Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes), and Henry Dwyer has Asfoora (King Charles III Stakes) set for her third successive Royal Ascot campaign.

It is expected Joliestar, Generosity and Lady Of Camelot will have track gallops at Royal Ascot on June 12.

Royal Ascot's Director of Racing and Public Affairs, Nick Smith, told Racing And Sports the Australian trainers have permission to gallop their sprinters on the famous racetrack.

"At this stage, the track gallop is planned for the Friday (June 12),'' he said.

Smith said Royal Ascot officials are "very pleased" with the Australian interest and potential presence next month.

"But you never take anything for granted with still some time to go,'' Smith said.

"It does look a very strong (Australian) team though and Joliestar is already a warm favourite for the Jubilee.

"There are two very exciting Japanese runners likely, too, so it could be a fascinating international showdown with last year's French winner Lazzat heading the European defence.''

Joliestar is the early favourite at $2.30 for the Jubilee Stakes ahead of $7 chance Satono Reve, the Japanese star who ran second to the world's best sprinter, Hong Kong superstar Ka Ying Rising in the Group 1 Chairman's Sprint Prize at Sha Tin last week. Lazzat is on the third line of betting at $11.

Joliestar is also at the top of betting for the King Charles III Stakes at $4.50 but is unlikely to contest the day one sprint. Overpass is next in betting at $5 ahead of Asfoora ($7), Lady Of Camelot ($9) and Generosity ($11).
