No $10M meeting this weekend but we do have four races across three states worth $100K or more and two G1's in NZ.
I won't be looking at a specific race this week but instead I'll be trying to find a few good horses on both sides of the ditch.

Who's Hot?
Joe Pride had 14 runners for seven winners and three placings between New Year's Day and last Saturday. He had another winner during the week at Canterbury.
Tomorrow he has runners at Randwick and Kembla Grange.
SELECTED BETS
Xtravagant (Trentham Race 6 No. 1) will be too short to back straight out but could be used as an anchor in some multis. He looked a little tired at the end of his last win on Boxing Day but he was entitled to be after seven weeks between runs. Go on his previous win (below) when he put on an absolute clinic in the G1 N.Z. 2000 Guineas. The stable is eyeing off a potential trip to the G1 Australian Guineas so he'd want to be cleaning up this lot.
2.26p.m.
Gold Symphony (Flemington Race 6 No. 1) is an exciting young prospect. In the space of a little more than eight weeks he went from a Mornington maiden to victory in the G3 McNeil Stakes at Caulfield. He's had just the four starts for three wins and a second and although he hasn't raced for nearly five months I expect a bold first-up showing even with the 58kg impost.
3.36p.m.
Royal Tithe (Sunshine Coast Race 6 No. 13) has chased home a couple of smart ones in her two starts to date. On debut she was second to the talented Zelady's Night Out and at her only other appearance she was narrowly beaten by Candika. That filly ran out of her skin last Saturday to finish third in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic. The jockey's name sounds familiar...
Lucky Street (Ascot Race 6 No. 5) was brave (below) when a fighting seventh in the G1 Winterbottom Stakes two starts back. He was the victim of a wide run and some pushing and shoving but still fought it out all the way to the finish. He just missed last time out in the Listed Summer Scorcher after another torrid passage. A five-time winner here at Ascot and Paul Harvey is back on board as he has been in four of this blokes five wins.
A few shorties but a four-leg multi should net around 30/1. Good punting!
