Winx (Street Cry-Vegas Showgirl, by Al Akbar) will take on seven rivals when she bids to extend her winning streak to 11 in Saturday's Gr2 Chelmsford Stakes (1600m) at Royal Randwick. The superstar mare registered her tenth consecutive victory - and her 14th overall - when resuming with a brilliant 3.5-length win in the Gr2 Warwick Stakes (1400m) last start. The Chris Waller-trained 5YO showed she was right on course to defend her title in the 96th running of the Gr1 WS Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley on 22 October. Among Winx's opponents on Saturday will be five of her stable-mates, namely Preferment, Who Shot Thebarman, Grand Marshall, Storm the Stars and Spiritjim. Indeed, Waller has a mortgage on the $250,000 weight-for-age feature saddling up six of the eight runners. Winx has been installed as the $1.15 favourite for the race ahead of the James Cummings-trained Prized icon - the only 3YO in the race - at $7. The field is:

1. PREFERMENT (Chris Waller-Tommy Berry) 59kg (7)

2. WHO SHOT THEBARMAN (Chris Waller-Blake Shinn) 59kg (4)

3. HARTNELL (John O'Shea-James McDonald) 59kg (2)

4. GRAND MARSHAL (Chris Waller-Jason Collett) 59kg (3)

5. STORM THE STARS (Chris Waller-Brenton Avdulla) 59kg (1)

6. SPIRITJIM (Chris Waller-Rory Hutchings) 59kg (6)

7. WINX (Chris Waller-Hugh Bowman) 57kg (Cool

8. PRIZED ICON (James Cummings-Ms Kathy O'Hara) 50.5kg (5)
