Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}) has drawn barrier three of 12 for her second-up run in Saturday's G2 Chelmsford S. at Randwick, and it would seem that little stands in the way of the $1.08 favourite recording a 19th straight win. The 6-year-old mare put in a scarcely believable performance, even by her own standards, two weeks ago when getting up to win the 1400 metre G2 Warwick S. after missing the break by four lengths. This time around she will race with the hood that she wears in the parade ring and to the start that is typically removed at the barriers.
Closest to Winx in the betting at $21 is the last-out May 20 G1 Doomben Cup winner Sense of Occasion (Aus) (Street Sense). That improving 7-year-old was third first-up in last season's G1 Doncaster Mile before backing up a week later to fill the same position behind Winx in the G1 Queen Elizabeth S. Red Excitement (Aus) (Excites {Aus}) is another that is expected to figure in the exotics. He was fourth behind Winx in the Warwick, beaten less than two lengths, and does well second-up.
