Australian superstar Takeover Target is a best-priced 11-1 with British bookmakers after drawing in the middle of the 15-horse field for the Group One Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot on Sunday morning (AEST).

The Joe Janiak-trained nine-year-old, who is having his fourth successive crack at the 1200m feature, came up with barrier seven.

"Takeover Target is a bit old but the Golden Jubilee Stakes is one race I would really like to win - he has run second, third and fourth," Janiak said in the lead-up to the race.

"I think he was a bit unlucky last year and he has had a couple of nice placings in it. Last year he did a suspensory in the race when he was in a position to win.

"We have got him peaking and if he can reproduce his form from the TJ Smith Stakes, which he won first-up this year, then he has a real big chance."

Janiak has also refused to concede that the race is Takeover Target's swansong, saying he could even return to England next year if he is fit and healthy.

Takeover Target followed his win in the Group One TJ Smith (1200m) at Randwick in April with another success at the elite level in Adelaide's The Goodwood over the same trip before his out-of-character eighth to Hong Kong star Sacred Kingdom in the KrisFlyer International Sprint in Singapore on May 17.

British bookmakers have South African J J The Jet Plane, who drew gate nine, favourite at 3-1 just ahead of Sacred Kingdom (eight) at 10-3.

Greece's Ialysos (five) is third pick at 10-1.

Australian punters have remained loyal to Takeover Target and TAB Sportsbet is bracing for a massive payout if he can win.

He was on the second line at $7 on Friday with Sacred Kingdom and J J The Jet Plane each at $3.50.
