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

The rest of Australia might be on holiday but the Winning Post team has you covered as racing heads for the coasts this Saturday.

Aquis Park Gold Coast kicks off the Magic Millions carnival with The Wave, a $250,000 weight-for-age race for three- and four-year-olds over 1800 metres. The support card includes two $250,000 races for Magic Millions graduates over 1300m, the Rising Stars for colts/geldings and fillies/mares. Plus there's $250,000 Magic Millions Maidens over 1100m and 1400, and for two-year-olds the Gold Nugget and Gold Pearl, worth $150,000 each.

Victorian metro racing heads to Corio Bay, an easy drive for Surf Coast holidaymakers, with Geelong to host the $300,000 Coastal Classic (1700m) and the $200,000 listed Black Pearl (1200m).

Sunday sees racing head down the Great Ocean Road to Warrnambool for the Port Fairy Cup and Koroit Cup.

SA racing is also in holiday mode, with Gawler to host in the beautiful Barossa on Saturday. 

Our form coverage kicks off on Friday with a full form guide for Cranbourne (and Hobart in the Tassie edition), plus fields, colours and tips for the other Friday TAB meetings. 

The metro racing this Saturday is at bet365 Geelong, Randwick in Sydney, Gawler in SA, the Gold Coast in Brisbane and Ascot in Perth.

Winning Post carries full-colour liftout guides for all those meetings plus bet365 Werribee (Vic/SA edition), Wyong (NSW edition) and Ipswich (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 as well as fields, ratings, tips and colours for a stack more Sunday and Monday programs, including Hong Kong's big international day.

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 6, 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 and is available Thursday afternoon online ($5), the crack of dawn Friday in shops.
