Group 1 racing returns to Flemington with the running of this Saturday's Makybe Diva Stakes.

One of the hardest to beat in the Makybe Diva will be classy import Via Sistina, impressive recent first-up winner of the Group 1 Winx Stakes and Chris Waller's Cox Plate top seed.

A new feature on the Makybe Diva card is the addition of the Archer Stakes (Hotham Handicap), previously run on Derby day and offering a golden ticket into the Melbourne Cup. Other supports at Flemington include the Let's Elope, the Bobbie Lewis and the Exford Plate.

In Sydney the action is at Rosehill for the Theo Marks Stakes and Run to the Rose, while it's W.H. Wylie Handicap day at Morphettville. The Brisbane racing is finally back at Eagle Farm for the Well Groomed Raceday.
