This week's Winning Post is now avaliable online here.

The carnival is over in the east but out west it's in full swing, with the $1 million Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes heading this Saturday's Ascot card.

As usual the 1200-metre dash for cash has attracted several of the best sprinters from the east, and Godolphin galloper will have a home-town edge: the engagement of champion Perth jockey William Pike.

Will Pikey prevail? B.J. Ryan's preview will lead this week's Winning Post
