The spring carnival action in the east is out of town this weekend, with the main Victorian, NSW and Queensland meetings at Cranbourne, Kembla Grange and the Sunshine Coast respectively.

The Cranbourne Cup, the Gong and the Mooloolaba Cup are the respective features and Gringotts will be look for his third straight Gong at Kembla Grange.

In the west, the Pinnacles carnival continues with the Group 1 Railway Stakes and Group 2 WA Guineas.

You'll find Australia's best form guide for Saturday's Cranbourne, Kembla, Sunshine Coasy and Morphettville meetings in this week's Best Bets, plus coverage of the Railway.

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.

Best Bets ($7) is on sale Thursday morning in NSW newsagents, Friday elsewhere.
