As we head towards the middle of winter, there’s just a few stakes races throughout Australasia on Saturday, with the G3 Sir John Monash S. at Caulfield arguably the best of them. In Sydney, the feature is the Listed Winter S., while Belmont hosts the Listed Beaufine S. In amongst all of this, there’s some decent off-season 2-year-old races that could be a pointer to the spring.
