Taj Mahal is on a collision course with the mighty Winx in the Cox Plate at Moonee Valley on October 28th.

Aidan O'Brien's colt disappointed in the Caulfield Stakes last weekend, but connections could now refit the son of Galileo with a pair of blinkers in an attempt to set him alight.

If Taj Mahal does go for the Cox Plate he would have to go head to head with sensational mare Winx, who has won the last two renewals of the super-valuable weight-for-age handicap.

Speaking to local media, TJ Comerford said: "Taj Majal just ends up being a bit lazy.

"He probably needed that just to wake him up because he is a good horse and there's better to come from Taj Mahal.

"I don't doubt that he'll improve. I think the Cox Plate is a big option for him because we can change a few things around with him for next time.

"I have to see what Aidan and what (owner) Lloyd (Williams) thinks but I do think that would be an option.

"We might try blinkers on him next time because when he ran at Arlington (runner-up in the Secretariat Stakes) he had blinkers on.

"We didn't put them on in Leopardstown (fifth in Irish Champion Stakes) and it looked like he ran OK in Leopardstown but I think we might have to revert to putting blinkers on again."
