It is, by comparison to the omnipresent deluge of Saturday racing that has abounded since early in the year, a sedate weekend of eleven Black Type races. Despite that, there are any number of exciting local battles ahead, augmented by Sunday's Gr1 Champions and Chater Cup in Hong Kong where a field of eight is carded. Back in Australia, local racing fans will be glued to the Gr1 Doomben Cup, a serious weight-for-age clash that might well prove a precursor to the 2021 Gr1 Cox Plate, albeit Verry Elleegant (Zed) is conspicuous by her absence. If nothing else, the feature is a chance to bid adieu to one of the greatest mares in the modern era. A 14-time Group 1 winner, Melody Belle has nothing left to prove ahead of her pending sale at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale. Whilst every effort is made to ensure information and the below race times (in Australian Eastern Time order) are accurate, please consult official race cards if certainty is required.
