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

It seems to get earlier every year, and believe it or not the Group 3 Monash Stakes is the feature at Caulfield this Saturday.

Once a spring launchpad for returning sprinters and weight-for-agers, the Monash has crept forward on the calendar to the point where it is now run before midwinter. Last year's first-up winner, Recommendation, went on to complete a Caulfield Group 3 hat-trick in the Bletchingly Stakes and Heath 1100.

Elsewhere, Randwick is the venue for Sydney racing while Queensland metro racing returns to town at Doomben and the SA version heads southeast to Thomas Farms racecourse at Murray Bridge. In WA, the Belmont Oaks and Aquanita Stakes for the winter three-year-olds top the bill at Bunbury.

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

The metro racing this Saturday is at Caulfield in Melbourne, Randwick in Sydney, Murray Bridge in SA, Doomben in Brisbane and Bunbury in WA.

Winning Post carries full-colour liftout guides for all those meetings plus Donald (Vic/SA edition), Newcastle (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 Devonport 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 88, while elsewhere 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.
