Cox Plate favourite Winx has had the first win ahead of Saturday’s much-anticipated clash with Hartnell.

The defending champ has drawn perfectly, securing barrier 3 for Australia’s premier weight-for-age race at Moonee Valley.

Hartnell will start from gate 7.

French raider Vadamos (barrier 2) has also drawn well.
