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

The spring carnival action in the east is out of town this weekend, with the main Victorian and NSW meetings at Cranbourne and Kembla Grange respectively.

The Cranbourne Cup and the Gong are the respective features, while there's also black type on offer at Doomben (Recognition Stakes).

Last-start Big Dance winner Gringotts looks one of the hardest to beat in this year's $1 million Gong.

In the west, the Pinnacles carnival kicks off with the Group 1 Railway Stakes and Group 2 WA Guineas.

Our form coverage kicks off on Friday with a full form guide for The Valley, plus fields, colours and tips for the other Friday TAB meetings.

The metro racing this Saturday is at Cranbourne in Victoria, Kembla Grange in NSW, Morphettville in SA, Doomben in Brisbane and Ascot in Perth.

Winning Post carries full-colour liftout guides for all those meetings plus Tatura (Vic/SA/Tas edition), Wyong (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 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 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.
