Winx
Winx will be looking to claim her 15th straight win in the Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on Saturday, in the process eclipsing Phar Lap’s winning streak.
Winx is an overwhelming $1.10 favourite for the Chipping Norton Stakes ahead of Hartnell .

2017 CHIPPING NORTON STAKES: RACE PREVIEW AND TIPS
Easily the main highlight of the afternoon with the renewal of the Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes aka a Winx demolition.
Speed anticipated from Endless Drama, Winx and possibly Hartnell (if they elect to roll).
All eyes are set to be on Winx and in truth only bad gets her beat.
She resumed with a devastating performance in the Apollo Stakes last start and should only improve further getting out to the mile.
Lands in the gun spot from the inside draw and it really should just be a case of how far.
Hartnell hit the line well behind Winx first up and is another who should improve further out to the mile.
Get the feeling they will be negative from the draw, but with clear air on straightening he should be finishing second.
No doubt Hartnell will be pleased he won't face Winx at his next start (Ranvet Stakes).
Endless Drama the next in line following his solid effort fresh.
