With big chances in every one of the Group Ones, Chris Waller could have an incredible day.
They obviously include the champ Winx but he has massive prospects in store.
Champion Winx took her incredible winning streak to 32 in taking out her fourth successive George Ryder Stakes here - her 24th Group 1 win and her 36th win in 42 starts. She settled in second last place in the eight-horse field, improved (wide) approaching the 600m, fanned deep at the home turn, took the lead at the 200m and then drew away to score decisively by three and half lengths. Team Hawkes-trained three-year-old Brutal settled in second place, moved up nearing the home turn, challenged strongly at the 300m and then fought really well for a very good second at only his sixth race start. Dreamforce went to the front, set a reasonable tempo, lifted the pace from the 600m and then kept battling on well for third.
