Six rivals for Winx in G1 Turnbull Stakes

Champion mare Winx will face six rivals when she attempts to extend her winning streak to 21 in the Turnbull Stakes at Flemington this weekend.

Saturday will be the first time Winx has raced at Flemington and she will jump from barrier two under regular rider Hugh Bowman in the Group One race over 2000m.

Chris Waller’s stable is based at Flemington and according to jockey Bowman there won’t be any issues.

“She cruised around here on Monday morning as she has many times before so i don’t foresee any problems come Saturday.

“She felt great and i am pretty sure Chris and team have her ready to go” Bowman said.

Makybe Diva Stakes winner Humidor, expected to be her main rival, drew barrier four while Magicool drew the inside gate and Sir Issac Newton the widest of the seven runners.
