You could provide an additional class to the containing div:
<div class="editor-field focus">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Amount)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Amount)
</div>
and then you could use a jQuery class selector:
$(function() {
$('.focus :input').focus();
});
This being said you seem to have multiple Amount texboxes in a table and obviously only one can have the focus at a time. So assuming you want this to be the first, you could do this:
$('.focus :input:first').focus();
