Kah will ride Morrissy in the $175,000 Wangoom Handicap on Wednesday and is still finalising her mount for Thursday's $250,000 Warrnambool Cup.
"I'm really looking forward to the Warrnambool carnival next week," Kah told The Standard.
"I rode at the carnival last year when there was no crowd. It was really weird without the big crowds.
"I've got a quieter approach to this year's event. I'm out suspended on Tuesday but will have a handful of rides on Wednesday and Thursday.
"My partner Clayton Douglas trains and rides The Midnight Shift in the Galleywood Hurdle on Wednesday and I'll be strapping him before the Galleywood."
Kah, who has ridden 81 metropolitan winners this season and 106 state-wide, is a special guest of the Warrnambool Racing Club for the carnival.
"It's a marvellous carnival and I'm excited to be involved with it, on-and- off the track," she said.
"I'll be doing my best to get the message out there about how great the carnival is - it's an easy message to promote."
WRC chairman Nick Rule said it was thrilled to have Kah as its special guest.
"Jamie will be assisting us with the promotion of the carnival next week," Rule said.
"Jamie is a tremendous ambassador for racing and to have someone with her talent supporting the May carnival is a wonderful opportunity for the WRC."
The carnival is on May 4, 5 and 6.
