The Rixon siblings will go head-to-head in the last race at Penrith tonight.
Just recently Ellen, Will and Hannah Rixon all drove a winner each at the same Penrith meeting.
Tonight, they will compete against each other with brother Will driving one of the stronger hopes in the race, Mausie Hutch.
The Michael Leary-trained filly ran second on debut with Will at Penrith recently and has drawn barrier one for tonight’s test.
Hannah will follow him out on Gigi Bob in barrier seven, a pacer trained by the siblings’ father Peter Rixon.
Drawn alongside Hannah in barrier eight is Ellen with the Geoffrey Day-trained Art Of Grange.
Ellen has scaled back her driving this season working full-time as a beautician and has steered three winners this year.
Hannah has had her best season yet piloting 17 winners so far while Will is just three wins off equalling his best season.
A Group 1 winner earlier in the season, Will has 63 wins to his credit this year.
