Jones has been particularly dominant at Toowoomba’s Clifford Park this season, including riding three winners last Wednesday afternoon, where she completes her apprenticeship with experienced trainer Lindsay Hatch.
The up-and-coming apprentice has been one of the best performed riders on the provincial scene this season, ranked second for winners behind fellow apprentice Zac Lloyd.
The Charters Towers product will ride Mumbles for Grant Young in South Australia on Wednesday followed by Grey Vitality for the Searle and Callanan team.
“I’m very excited and grateful for the opportunity to represent Queensland in this series,” Jones told News Corp.
“I’m looking forward to the challenge.
“Here (South East Queensland) you become familiar with a lot of things the horses, the tracks and the jockeys you’re riding against.
“It’s going to be a completely different game down there though.
“I’ll take a look at some video before I head to down to see how the track runs and walk it (the track) with Racing Queensland officials before we race.”
The Brisbane leg is the second of the NARS – which will be run seven days after the Strathalbyn – before the series turns to Tasmania and Victoria.
Queensland have been a bridesmaid in the NARS series a few times in recent years and Scriven is hopeful 2022 might just be the year the Sunshine State riders break through.
