Randwick  R8 – $750k G1 Winx Stakes 1400m
1. MO’UNGA (2) x12543x26x
T: Annabel Neasham /J: Tommy Berry (59kg)
So honest and such a quality galloper. Tends to get back when racing at this trip and charge home. What he really has in his favour is the fact he is dynamic while fresh. Resumes here from a great draw. Look for him charging at them late.
2. STOCKMAN (6) 0244x0127x
T: Joe Pride / J: Sam Clipperton (59kg)
Impressive middle distance type who has yet to turn the world on while fresh in these shorter races. Will get back and may need this outing.
3. ANAMOE (1) 212x31219x
T: James Cummings/ J: James McDonald (58.5kg)
Superstar Gr 1 victor who looks the winner. Is a smart one at any stage of his career and has great fresh stats. Resumes here but did win a trial recently where five of his rivals here were in it and wasn’t asked for a huge effort. Exciting to see him back.
4. PROFONDO (7) 121x04x
T: Richard Litt/ J: Brenton Avdulla (58.5kg)
Lightly raced but heavily gifted Gr 1 winner. Was also in that trial that Anamoe won. Sat wide and ran 4th and looked strong. Bound to be making solid ground late. Has won first up in the past.
5. HILAL (3)011x5237x9
T: Team Hawkes / J: Willy Pike (58.5kg)
Smart galloper who may test these. Beaten just over 4 lengths when resuming in a very fast run Missile Stakes when resuming. Was making solid ground late after being burnt off early. No such mid race speed tempo here and he is fitter. Will get back but also will run on. Has claims.
6. BENAUD (4) 135x62542x
T:John O’Shea / J: Reece Jones (58.5kg)
Interesting galloper. Lightly raced and is a star staying type in the making. Beaten out of a place in recent trial. Resumes here and although only win to date was at this trip, he faces a tough task in a Gr 1 first up. Will be running on no doubt.
7. DUAIS (5) 610x96117x
T: Ed Cummings / J: Josh Parr (57kg)Â
SCRATCHED
8. FORBIDDEN LOVE (10) 0x211148x6
T: Michael Freedman / J: Rachel King (57kg)
Class mare already the winner of a couple of Gr 1 races and is the speed in the race. Significantly is the only speed in the race and is 2nd up here after a solid 6th in the Missile when resuming. Loves this trip and has won 2nd up before. If it is wet, she will win. Yeah, big show.
9. ICEBATH (8) 12x649333x
T: Â Brad Widdup/ J: Kerrin McEvoy (57kg)
Star galloper who is honest and a great threat this trip. Gets back a bit runs on very hard. Two times Gr 1 placed last prep and is always a show while resuming. Was well back in that trial won by Anamoe but will run well.
10. FANGIRL (9) 111x15410x
T: Chris Waller / J: Hugh Bowman (56.5kg)Â
Very strong, exciting mare who is particularly good while fresh. Hughie rides her first up in this and everything suits. Two trials under her belt, both nice. Is a Gr 1 winner under Bowman and will be right in this.
11. HINGED (11) 016x71324x
T: Chris Waller /J: Nash Rawiller (56.5kg)
Is one to watch. Races very well fresh and resumes here. Is a Gr 1 winner at this journey and is so tough and honest. Both her trials have been average but is a big-time racehorse and can bob up.
