Group 1 racing returns to Sandown with the running of this Saturday's Moir Stakes.

Among the stars to watch in the Moir is exciting filly Natural Fling, who'll be looking to make the leap to Group 1 class at just her fourth start.

The Chautauqua and Atlantic Jewel are the support acts at Sandown, while in Sydney the action is back at Randwick for the Tatts meeting, featuring the Concorde, Chelmsford, Tramway, Furious and Tatts Club Cup.

Our form coverage kicks off on Friday with fields, colours and tips for all four Friday TAB meetings including day one of the Birdsville Cup carnival.

The metro racing this Saturday is at Sandown in Melbourne, Randwick in Sydney, Morphettville in SA, Eagle Farm in Brisbane and Belmont in Perth.

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

Letter of the Week

Another great plate

Matt Stewart (“A good story, Well Written,” 15/8) says the greatest race run on Australian soil was the Cox Plate clash between Bonecrusher and Our Waverley Star, calling it the Race of the Century.
I suggest that there was another race that could challenge his choice for that title.
It took place in March 1960 at Flemington. The Queen’s Plate over 10 furlongs (2000m) was an epic struggle between Tulloch, returning after two years recovering from a life-threatening illness, and the Victorian champion Lord.
They settled down to a head-and-head contest for the length of the famous straight. Tulloch was victorious by a short half-head, to the delight of the crowd.
I was in my teen years and was fortunate enough to be on course to witness what I regard as the best race I’ve seen over many decades of racecourse attendance.
Given it took place so many years ago, this battle has virtually been lost in the mists of time.
I’m not aware whether there is any film of the magnificent contest. If there is, it should be shown on occasions to pay due tribute to these magnificent thoroughbreds.
