The unfortunate postponement of last weekend’s major Sunshine Coast race meeting provides an unexpected boost this weekend to black-type stocks, however we may not be out of the woods quite yet. Rated a Heavy 8 on Thursday evening, with a forecast of scattered showers throughout Friday might leave the track at the extremities of heavy by Sunday for its three features. Meanwhile, on Saturday, there’s stakes race short-course action in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to keep fans entertained in the late part of the afternoon. Whilst every effort is made to ensure information and the below race times (in Australian Eastern Time order) are accurate, please consult official race cards if certainty is required.
