Some of Sydney's finest return to the racetrack this Saturday for the Group 2 Missile Stakes at Randwick.

The set-weights-and-penalites event has provided a pipe-opener for such stars as Lonhro and Dance Hero in days gone by. Among the high-quality horseflesh resuming in this Saturday's race is new-season four-year-old Napoleonic, a placegetter in the Doomben 10,000 two starts ago.

Spring is also in the air at Morphettville, where it's Behemoth Stakes day, while the Travis Harrison Cup is the feature at the MVRC meeting on the Heath track at Caulfield.

You'll find Australia's best form guide for Saturday's Caulfield, Randwick, Eagle Farm and Morphettville meetings in this week's Best Bets.

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.
