Champion mare Winx gained the tick of approval from trainer Chris Waller and jockey Hugh Bowman after completing her final track gallop ahead of her comeback to racing from a spell at Royal Randwick tomorrow.
It was just before dawn when Winx appeared at Rosehill trackwork yesterday, galloping solo wide out on the course proper.
Waller and Bowman both believe the great mare is primed for her return tomorrow in the race named in her honour, the group one A$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.
