Eight days later than scheduled, the undefeated Australian filly Palaisipan will have her stakes debut in the Group 3 Winx Stakes at Sunshine Coast Racecourse on Sunday.

The one-mile Winx Stakes was scheduled for July 3, but the program was postponed because of wet conditions.

The lineup for the Winx Stakes has changed slightly since entries were initially taken earlier this month. Palaisipan rates as a leading contender along with the filly Dzsenifer. Tamilaide was the favorite on July 3, but won the Grafton Guineas on Wednesday and is not part of Sunday’s Winx field.

Eight-year-old Extravagant Kid’s global adventures continue Saturday at Newmarket in the Group 1 July Cup.

Mother Earth returns to the scene of her English 1000 Guineas win Friday when she starts in the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes.

The Falmouth, a straight-course mile, marks the first fairly important sex-restricted race in England where 3-year-olds tackle their elders, and eight members of the sophomore set face five older horses, the older fillies and mares giving nine pounds to their younger rivals.

Top Australian jockey Jamie Kah can make history at Sandown Racecourse in Melbourne on Wednesday.

Through Saturday, Kah had won 99 races this season at Melbourne city tracks such as Caulfield, Flemington, Moonee Valley and Sandow.

Kah is one winner behind Brett Prebble, who holds the record of 99.5 wins set in the 1999-2000 season at Melbourne city tracks. In Australia, a dead heat counts as half of a win.

A trio of Class 3 handicaps bring to a close the third-to-last race card of the 2020-21 Hong Kong season, and race 9, the finale, looks the most interesting of them.

All three contests are for horses rated 80-60, races 7 and 8 carded for 1,200 meters, race 9 at 1,650 meters, one circuit around the Happy Valley course. First post for the program is 6:45 a.m. Eastern with live video and wagering at DRFBets.com.

A massive break in the weights from his last start makes Yeldarb an attractive favorite in a handicap at 6 1/2 furlongs at Wagga Wagga Racecourse in Australia on Monday.

Yeldarb won a handicap at about six furlongs at Wangaratta Racecourse on June 21 as the 141-pound highweight. The win marked the end of a 12-race losing streak and was the 6-year-old gelding’s sixth win in 34 starts.

St Mark’s Basilica stormed past tough older rivals Addeybb and Mishriff and won the Group 1 Eclipse Stakes by 3 1/2 lengths Saturday at Sandown Park in England.
