Winx scares off competitors as she looks for the magical 21
HORSE RACING: Champion mare Winx will have to contend with just six rivals in Saturday's Turnbull Stakes.
Amongst those is Skyfire, who is coming off an encouraging fifth in a Mornington BM78, a big improvement after finishing last at Geelong in a BM64.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, there wasn't a horse more deserving of a Group 1 win than Happy Clapper in last weekend's Epsom Handicap.
Our mate Tom Melbourne loomed up on the inside, only to add to his long streak of seconds this preparation.
The road to the world's richest turf race continues, with the Everest taking place from Royal Randwick next weekend.
The field of 12 has been finalised, with She Will Reign the current favourite after a blistering return in last week's Moir Stakes at Moonee Valley.
Speaking of huge racing action on October 14, the Warwick Cup headlines a big day at Allman Park.
Stay tuned to the Daily News next week for comprehensive coverage of Warwick's signature race, as well as my tips for the seven-race card on Saturday.
CHARITY BET OF THE WEEK
Sanctioned (Randwick Race 7 No 4) - $50 win at $4.20
In a weak instalment of the Spring Champion Stakes, I'm with Sanctioned to turn the tables on the favourite.
The latter got the better of the two last time out, however I'm hoping that run has the colt fitter. .
