The mare had also been nominated for the Sheraco Stakes on the Rosehill program but trainer Chris Waller has elected to take on the open age sprinters with James McDonald booked for the ride.

Winx is one of three runners for Waller in the field of 14 plus one emergency, joining Strawberry Boy, who drew gate five for Jim Cassidy, and Heart Testa from barrier nine for Jason Collett.

Group 1 winner Famous Seamus has the topweight of 59kg under the quality handicap conditions and will be ridden by Kathy O’Hara but drew wide in gate 14.

Team Hawkes have three acceptors and all drew close to the fence with Ninth Legion in one, Messene two and Nostradamus four.

Queen of the Turf Stakes winner Amanpour resumes for Gai Waterhouse and has gate eight for Brett Prebble while Brenton Avdulla rides Aomen for Anthony Cummings from gate three.

Joao Moreira will ride John O’Shea’s lone runner Vashka, which drew gate six.

Decision Time drew 10 for Christian Reith, Boss Lane 12 for Sam Clipperton and Sons of John seven under Jeff Penza.

Melbourne mare Vezalay is an early scratching, instead running at Saturday’s Flemington program.

Her withdrawal gifts a start to the emergencyTurbulent Jet, which has the outside gate.

Queensland Oaks (Gr 1, 2200m) winner Winx scored an amazing first-up win. She settled near last in the 14-horse field, was shuffled back to a clear last (conceding he leaders about ten lengths) on straightening. She went deep at the 300m and then came from a seemingly impossible position to grab a brilliant last-stride win. She is a top class mare who looks to have more Group One wins in store. Sons Of John had a nice trip, seventh on the rails, got a split on turning for home, challenged nearing the 100m and fought on for a very good second especially considering he was stepping up in class here. Ninth Legion settled in third place on the rails from his inside barrier (1). He got through at the 300m, hit the front at the 100m and fought on well for a good third. Strawberry Boy went to the front as usual, retained the lead until nearing the 100m and held on for a close-up fourth, beaten less than a length.
