All-clear for Winx return

CHAMPION mare Winx gained the tick of approval from trainer Chris Waller and jockey Hugh Bowman after yesterday completing her final track gallop ahead of her comeback to racing at Randwick tomorrow.

Waller and Bowman believe the great mare is primed for her return tomorrow in the race named in her honour, the Group 1 $500,000 Winx Stakes (1400m).

“She feels as good as she ever has,” Bowman said.

“She seems more mature mentally and has come back in great order.

“Everything suggests she is a happy individual and I can’t wait for the race.”
