Boom goes bang?

It's grand final day for Victoria's two-year-olds this Saturday as Caulfield's carnival reaches its climax.

The Lindsay Park-trained Long Leaf will be among the elite juveniles lining up for what looks a wide-open Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes.

The Blue Diamond heads a superb card at the Heath, with the Group 1 Futurity Stakes and Oakleigh Plate among the support acts.

And there'll be no shortage of top two-year-olds in Sydney either, with the Silver Slipper set down for decision at Rosehill, which will also play host to the Hobartville for the three-year-olds.

Who'll take home the Diamond? Paul Richards's preview will lead this week's Winning Post.

Our form coverage kicks off on Friday with full form guides for the Moonee Valley night meeting plus Benalla and Canberra during the day, as well as fields, colours and selections for Friday's three other TAB meetings.

The metro racing this Saturday is at Caulfield in Melbourne, Rosehill in Sydney, Morphettville in Adelaide, Doomben in Brisbane and Ascot in Perth.

Winning Post carries full-colour liftout guides for all those meetings plus Yarra Valley (Vic/SA/Tas edition), Goulburn (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 Vamos Stakes/Tasmanian Oaks day at Launceston 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 Ballarat newsagents, the crack of dawn Friday elsewhere.
