Winx Stakes 2024 Preview
Track: Soft 6 Weather: Fine
A few stars have taken this out in the past. Very Elleegant, Anamoe, Winx to name a few. Waller has stacked the race with chances and he would be keen to win this again. He holds the key with 4 main chances.
Fangirl won this last year. She is a top shelf sprinter and looks the winner on class. Riff Rocket may want further but is very hard to knock and also hails from the Waller yard. Via Sistina was superb last prep and was last seen running 2nd to Pride Of Jenni. Zougotcha resumes off the back of an unbeaten prep.
2024 Winx Stakes Runner by Runner
1. Buckaroo (8)
Can’t have.
2. Detonator Jack (2)
Has the ability but tends to need luck in his races. May find these too slick.
3. Zeyrek (3)
Can’t have.
4. Just Fine (4)
Prefer others.
5. Riff Rocket (12)
Winning machine who put together three wins from four goes last prep. Hard to knock but will likely want further.
6. Fangirl (9)
She’s one of the best sprinters in Australia and is never far away. Flies fresh and has a superb record with J-Mac riding. Deserving favourite and her resume is large.
7. Via Sistina (7)
Danger to the stablemate. Import who was superb last prep and last seen chasing Pride Of Jenni as a $1.85 favourite. That market respect has to be heavily factored and can take this out fresh.
8. Atishu (10)
Can’t have.
9. Zougotcha (6)
Unbreaten last prep and has the class to give this a shake. Loves racing here and proven fresh.
10. Semana (5)
Holds the fitness edge over most of these. Gibbons rides and flies over this trip. May be able to win if finding the front and testing these on the fitness.
11. Tropical Squall (11)
Looks too short. Brings in some okay form but drawn wide and expecting to drift.
12. Zardozi (1)
Class runner. Will need further.
