Head check for Bowman

INJURED jockey Hugh Bowman will consult a neurosurgeon after suffering concussion in a race fall.

Bowman, the regular partner of champion Winx, came off leading Golden Slipper contender Performer at Randwick on Saturday when the colt made a sudden sidestep to the left.

Stewards said Bowman saw a doctor yesterday and had an appointment with neurosurgeon Dr Mark Winder today to assess his fitness to return to race riding.

Performer, who must pass a barrier test before he can race again, will run in a 740m trial at Randwick tomorrow.
