Rose in bloom
By Winning Post, August 28, 2016 - 8:05 AM

Miss Rose de Lago upstaged a handful of Group 1 winners when she resumed in the Lawrence Stakes, and she'll be looking to do so again this Saturday in the Group 2 Dato' Tan Chin Nam Stakes at Moonee Valley.

The low-profile Danny O'Brien-trained mare may not have won a Group 1 herself, but she'll pass a million dollars in earnings if she can win the Dato'.

The Dato' heads a cracking program at Moonee Valley, also featuring the Ian McEwen, the Chandler Macleod and the Atlantic Jewel. Meanwhile at Randwick the Tatts Club program features the Chelmsford, the Furious, the Concorde, the Tramway and the Ming Dynasty.

Will Miss Rose de Lago do it again at the Valley? Tony Kneebone's Dato' preview will lead this week's Winning Post.

Our form coverage kicks off on Friday with full form guides for Wyong Cup/Mona Lisa day and Bendigo plus fields, colours and selections for Lismore and Ipswich.

The metro racing this Saturday is at Moonee Valley in Melbourne, Randwick in Sydney, Morphettville in Adelaide, Eagle Farm in Brisbane and Belmont in Perth.

Winning Post carries full-colour liftout guides for all those meetings plus Warracknabeal (Vic/SA/Tas edition), Hawkesbury (NSW edition) and Gold Coast (Queensland edition), as well as fields, tips, ratings and/or colours for other TAB Saturday cards.

On Sunday we've got liftout formguides for four more TAB meetings including Moree Cup day plus fields, ratings, tips and colours for a stack more Sunday and Monday programs.

Don't forget Winning Post now carries trackwork reports for all four Melbourne training tracks, all three in Sydney, Morphettville in Adelaide and a general Brisbane report.

Away from the form, we've got news columns from Queensland, NSW, six Victorian districts, SA and Tasmania.

Our readers have their say on page 4, while further back in the book Shane Templeton reminisces, Paul Richards presents his unique take on the sport, Tony Kneebone brings you his Snippets column and Number Cruncher delivers the stats that matter.

Winning Post costs $5 and is available Thursday afternoon in selected Melbourne newsagents, the crack of dawn Friday elsewhere.
