We have the information from the main races around the country.
Randwick hosts racing for the first time since Sydney Cup day back in April.
SR1 - Decent looking 2yo event to kick off with. We have seen money come for Jason Coyle's Lady Be Great ($9 to $5.50).
SR2 - A very progressive 3yo Benchmark race has some potential horses of the future. There has been some very wide specking on Zabeel Babe at $101 now upped in trip.
SR3 - This mile handicap has a good spread of weights with Chris Waller playing a key role. Some light was shone on Bart's Mr Edison ($17 to $15) and also Linbob from Kembla at $21 to $18.
SR4 - Looks quite a competitive Open Sprint and on the wet going some money is there for Yoberg ($15 to $11).
SR5 - Value may be there for Awesome Image ($51 to $23) as Craig Carmody looks to win back to back metropolitan weekends. But the good filly She Must Be Obeyed is $5.50 to $4.
SR6 - In the Ken Callander Fellowship Hcp, it is a race with plenty of Chris Waller interest. Appropriate then that one who has been backed is Mutawarath ($18 to $11). Another on the limit given a good hope is Sir Fox ($4.60 to $4.20).
SR7 - Again it is the Waller yard which is heavy in this event and two have been taken by the punters. The Verminator is $5 to $4.60 while Contract Caterer is $7.50 to $6.50.
SR8 - We see an incredibly open last race where there should be value a plenty. Interest is there for Scarf in from $9 to $6.

MR1 - A competitive little 3yo begins the races in Melbourne and two have been admired early. Limerock is $10 to $7 from the Moody yard while Arinosa is $8 to $7.
MR2 - Interesting play here on the Hayes runner Jalsah ($11 to $7) after her good run at Morphettville on their Super Sunday.
MR3 - In this 2yo sprint the fav The Counterfeiter is tight at $3.80 but a small amount has come for Sport Chic at $12.
MR4 - Many moves in short course scamper. Innocent Gamble resumes and is $11 to $6, Breitling has fluctuated a tad but is essentially $7.50 to $6.5 and Spurcific scored well recently and is $13 to $11.
MR5 - Changes up near the top of the weights at value. Secret Flyer starts another campaign and is $12 to $10, Magical Pearl similarly ran consistently last time in without winning and is $17 to $14 and finally Morgan Dollar who has run some decent races here is $18 to $11.
MR6 - Interesting move against the short priced stable mate with Believe 'n Achieve ($7.50 to $7).
MR7 - Mile and a half races can be tricky but recent Warrnambool Cup placegetter Streaky Fella is $8 to $7.50.
MR8 - Again several plays in the mares race. Avionics is $14 to $9, Venus World has been $15 to $13 and a wide go for Lady Snake ($151 to $81) from Tasmania.

BR1 - Good go at odds in this for Adebisi ($21 to $8.50) as well as Audacious Spirit ($14 to $12) and the perennially backed Smokin' Joey ($8.50 to $7).
BR2 - Opening favourite is Work The Room and on the limit punters should come for him at $2.80.
BR3 - In an open Class 6, a little support is there for Alberton Park ($13 to $8.50).
BR4 - As with most 2yo races, there is often specking and so far we've seen Shanghai Bund ($6.50 to $4.40) and Pensive Dream ($71 to $35).
BR5 - With the 3yos now stretched to limits many haven't seen before in the Grand Prix, punters have taken a risk on a few. Turnitup for Peter Moody is $15 to $8, Mr Light Blue specked from $41 to $26, Alma's Fury ($21 to $17) who was stiff last time and The Chevron from Melbourne $26 to $13.
BR6 - A Brisbane Cup lead up is the Premier's Cup and the kiwi backing up after the Doomben Cup is The Hombre who is $15 to $6 in a massive go.
BR7 - Only one horse has been strongly supported in the G1 Doomben 10,000. Usually a vibrant betting contest, the top sprinter Hay List is $1.60 to $1.35 which means a substantial amount of confidence is placed on his broad shoulders.
BR8 - Fascinating entrant is Gold Trail off international efforts. He has been $21 to $12. There was also something small on Gundy Son ($6.50 to $6).
