Jockey Kerrin McEvoy has travelled the world to notch 21 Group One wins during his stellar career and is now out to smash a Gold Coast hoodoo on Saturday.

The 28-year-old is yet to ride a winner on the tricky Gold Coast track.

"I've been to the Gold Coast a few times but I'm yet to ride a winner there," McEvoy said.

"I'm really looking forward to riding at the Gold Coast on Saturday as I've got a number of good rides."

McEvoy hasn't ridden in Queensland since 2001, the year he won his only Group One race in the state aboard the Alan Bailey-trained Juanmo in the TJ Smith Stakes (1600m) at Eagle Farm.

His Group One record now stands at 11 wins in Australia and 10 internationally in the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and France.

"I won the TJ Smith on Juanmo and that's the last time I recall riding up there," he said.

"It was the same year Steve Arnold won the Prime Minister's Cup on Inaflury."

McEvoy arrived back in Australia last August to ride for his current boss Sheikh Mohammed following a successful overseas career as the number two jockey for the powerful Godolphin stable.

McEvoy concedes it took him a few months before he found his mark back riding in Sydney.

"I had a rough start with a number of suspensions when I first got back," he said.

"I was suspended four or five times in the first few months and it halted my introduction back into Australia.

"But everything is going well now and I'm looking forward to riding a few winners at the Gold Coast."

McEvoy has six early mounts at the Gold Coast including a quartet for trainer Peter Snowden.

Snowden's four are Imvula in the Group Two Hollindale Stakes (1800m), El Cambio in the Listed Prime Minister's Cup (1300m), Desuetude in the Group Three Gold Coast Guineas (1200m) and Trim in the Listed Ken Russell Memorial Classic (1200m).

He also will ride the Mike Moroney-trained Prix Du Sang in the Listed Gold Coast Bracelet (1800m) and Gary Portelli's Tranquillity Base in the Listed Silk Stocking (1200m) if the pair secure starts.

Imvula made his Queensland debut last start with a courageous sixth to Sam's Express in unsuitable wet conditions in the Listed Member's Quality (1600m) at Eagle Farm on April 18.

"He's second-up but his first run back from a break was good considering it was a softish track," McEvoy said.

"He's a nice horse who has good ability and should appreciate a staying trip later on."

Snowden sent Imvula north with a view to running the four-year-old in the Group Two Brisbane Cup (2400m) at Eagle Farm on June 6.

El Cambio will be making his return to Queensland after campaigning successfully last winter when he won two of his only three starts.

The son of Commands made his northern debut at the corresponding meeting 12 months ago when he brilliantly won the Group Three Gold Coast Guineas (1200m).

He then won the Group Three BTC Classic (1350m) at Doomben but was not suited by a wet track and struck interference in the straight when he beat only two home in the Group One Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) won by Mr Baritone at Eagle Farm in June.
