Tom Haylock is joined by Matt Welsh from Betsy.com.au and one of Australia's best in-play punters, Jackson Oldham, to preview a huge weekend of Group 1 racing at Flemington and Rosehill, headlined by the Australian Cup, the Vinery Stud Stakes and the Tancred Stakes.

This week's episode has everything, from Tipster of the Week, to putting Jamie Melham's recent form under the microscope, to Matt Welsh's open discussion about the lack of criticism in the sport of racing and why that is.
