Australian wonder mare Winx will have two European raiders to contend with as she bids for a fourth straight Cox Plate victory this Saturday at Moonee Valley.
Aidan O'Brien's Rostropovich (Ryan Moore) and Saeed Bin Suroor's Benbatl (Oisin Murphy) stand in the way of Winx claiming her 29th consecutive Stakes win in the A$5million event.
The Chris Waller trained mare has drawn stall 6 for Saturday's feature for which she is expected to be sent off the 1/4 favourite.
Aidan O'Brien will saddle four runners in Friday's big race, The Manikato Stakes, at Moonee Valley with Ryan Moore aboard US Navy Flag. His other runners are Spirit Of valor (Oisin Murphy), Intelligence Cross (Emmet McNamara) and Fleet Review (Kerrin McEvoy).
