5:15am - COLGATE OPTIC WHITE STAKES | 1600m | Group 1 | i

All eyes on the great mare as WINX tries to make it 20 wins in a row! Tempo from RED EXCITEMENT again, who strode clear before getting grabbed by the champ late two weeks ago, setting up a FAIR tempo. WINX only needs a little luck from the inside barrier to be too classy again, her finishing surge irresistible last start and she's sure to be even stronger third-up (a scary thought!). RED EXCITEMENT in the mix for a place again, along with ECUADOR and MACKINTOSH near the pace too. HAPPY CLAPPER did out-class many of these fresh and is the clear second top rater on form, but he does need a good ride from the barrier. FOXPLAY the other key place chance after almost lowering WINX's colours a few weeks ago in an easier race. [updated 8:48am]
