Summer is here and the top-class racing continues with the Kingston Town Classic for the weight-for-agers at Ascot, where Kementari will be flying the flag for the eastern states against a powerful line-up of locals.

Back east, the main action at Victoria is Sportsbet Pakenham Cup day, while at Doomben it's the Group 3 George Moore Stakes.
