Molto Bene
By Winning Post, April 21, 2024 - 6:10 AM

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

The Group 1 caravan moves on this week, with Adelaide the focus as the fillies and mares match motors in the $1 million Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m), where the Jason Warren-trained Benedetta will be hard to beat following her recent win in the R.N. Irwin Stakes.

It's a dual Group 1 card on ladies' day at Morphettville, with the middle-distance fillies duking it out in the Australasian Oaks over 2000 metres. The miler mares meet in the Group 2 Queen of the South and the sprinting three-year-olds clash in the Group 2 Tobin Bronze. The Breeders' Stakes, Chairman's Stakes and newly rechristened John Hawkes Stakes complete a seven-pronged black-type card.

There are three black-type races at Eagle Farm, too, with the open milers meeting in the Brisbane Handicap, the three-year-old sprinters in the Mick Dittman Plate and the miler fillies in the Princess Stakes.

At Caulfield, it's VOBIS day and there's plenty of cash up for grabs. The $1 million Showdown for two-year-olds and the $500,000 VOBIS Sires Guineas for three-year-olds are the highlights.

In Perth it's WA Derby day.

Our form coverage kicks off on Friday with a full form guide for the Cranbourne night meeting, plus fields, colours, previews and tips for a stack more Friday meetings.

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

Winning Post carries full-colour liftout guides for all those meetings plus bet365 Park Kyneton (Vic/SA edition), Kembla Grange (NSW edition) and Gold Coast (Qld edition), as well as fields, tips, ratings and/or colours for other TAB Saturday cards.

On Sunday we've got liftout formguides for three more TAB meetings (plus Hobart in the Tassie edition), as well as fields, ratings, tips and colours for a stack more Sunday and Monday programs.

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

Away from the form, we've got news columns from 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 $6.00 and is available Thursday afternoon online ($5), the crack of dawn Friday in shops.
