“We've always done it when she's had three weeks between runs, we bring her here today for an exhibition gallop,” Waller said.

“It just seems to fit in well, it brings her back down to earth.

“And that's Winx, she's just ready to explode. It makes my job a lot easier.”

McEvoy was rapt to have another sit aboard Winx, who will her 36th career win in the George Ryder, her final race at her home track of Rosehill.

“It was good to get a sit on her again, she's in good order,” McEvoy said.

“She's got wet track form and she skipped across it like it was nice ground for her.”
