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

Golden Slipper weekend is here, and the 2025 Slipper looks intriguing.

Undefeated colt Rivellino gives Kris Lees the chance to prepare the first Newcaste-trained Slipper winner in 20 years, since the Paul Perry-trained Stratum in 2005, but the Coolmore-owned, Chris Waller-trained Wodeton has plenty of fans. As always there a re multiple formlines to sort out, and if you can find the winner you should be well rewarded.

The Slipper heads what these days is arguably the best raceday on the Australian calendar, boasting no fewer than five Group 1s. The Rosehill Guineas for the three-year-olds, the Ranvet for the weight-for-agers, the George Ryder for the milers and the Galaxy for the speedsters round out the majors.

There's also Group 1 action in Melbourne, with the William Reid Stakes headling The Valley's autumn showpiece, while it's Supremacy Stakes and Grandstand Cup day at Ascot.

Our form coverage kicks off on Friday with a full guide to the Cranbourne night meeting and fields/colours/tips/overviews for all the other TAB action.

The metro racing this Saturday is at The Valley in Melbourne, Rosehill 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 bet365 Benalla (Vic/SA edition), Kembla Grange (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 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, 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.
