The festive season is upon us but racing doesn't slow down, with meetings here, there and everywhere. And Winning Post has got your pre-Christmas punting covered.

Saturday's highlights include the rescheduled Grand Prix Stakes at Eagle Farm along with the Falvelon Quality and Summer Provincial Series final, plus the Starstruck Classic and the Ted Van Heemst Stakes at Ascot.

You'll find Australia's best form guide for Saturday's Flemington, Warwick Farm, Eagle Farm and Gawler meetings in this week's Best Bets, plus coverage of Friday night's card at The Valley.

On pages 4 and 5 you'll find four-state selections from some of the nation's leading form analysts as well as our popular Black Bookers, Sectional Stars and Video Stars features.
