This week in Winning Post

This week's Winning Post will be available online here from 3pm AEST Thursday.

The Group 1 caravan moves on this week, with Adelaide the focus as the middle-distance fillies duke it out in the Australasian Oaks over 2000 metres, where the Lindsay Park up-and-comer Stung will be hard to beat.

It's a dual Group 1 card on ladies' day at Morphettville, with the fillies and mares matching motors in the $1 million Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m). 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 John Hawkes Stakes complete a seven-pronged black-type card.

There are four 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, the miler fillies in the Princess Stakes and the two-year-old fillies in the Calaway Gal.

Saturday is of course Anzac Day, which means the Melbourne racing is at Flemington for the VRC St Leger and Anzac Day Stakes, while the Sydney action is also at headquarters (Randwick).

In the west, it's Sheila Gwynne Classic day at Ascot.

Our coverage kicks off on Friday, with fields, colours, previews and tips for a stack of Friday meetings.

The metro racing this Saturday is at Flemington in Melbourne, Randwick 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 Moe (Vic/SA edition), Gosford (NSW edition) and Sunshine 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, four Victorian districts, SA and Tasmania.

Our readers have their say on page 4, while elsewhere in the book Shane Templeton reminisces, Paul Richards presents his unique take on the sport, Matt Stewart weighs in on the big issues and Number Cruncher delivers the stats that matter.

Winning Post costs $7.00 and is available Thursday afternoon online ($6), the crack of dawn Friday in shops.
