Group 1 racing returns to Melbourne for the first time since March with the running of this Saturday's Memsie Stakes at Caulfield.

Among the stars on show will be the star Moody/Coleman-trained mare Sheza Alibi, fan favourite Mr Brightside, Cox Plate runner-up Buckaroo and rising star Angel Capital.

The Cockram, McNeil, Heath 1100 and Heatherlie are the support acts at Caulfield, while in Sydney the action is at Rosehill, where the three-year-olds duke it out in the San Domenico (1100m) and Up And Coming (1300m).
