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

Warm favourite in the Makybe Diva will be rising star mare Sheza Alibi, a strong-finishing first-up second to champion mare Autumn Glow in last month's Group 1 Winx Stakes.

A feature again on the Makybe Diva card is the Archer Stakes (Hotham Handicap), long 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 at Doomben for the Well Groomed Raceday.

You'll find Australia's best form guide for Saturday's Flemington, Rosehill, Doomben and Morphettville meetings in this week's Best Bets.
