A Group I, two Group IIs and three Listed races will be run in addition to the $1 million Group I Epsom Handicap and $750,000 Group I The Metropolitan.

The $500,000 Group I Flight Stakes (1600m) will pit some of Australia's best three-year-old fillies against each other while some of The Everest candidates will have their final lead-up run in the $500,000 Group II Premiere Stakes (1200m).

The other Randwick Group II contest on Saturday is the $500,000 Hill Stakes.

Saturday will also showcase the new season two-year-olds for the first time in Sydney in the time-honoured Listed Breeders Plate (1000m) for the colts and geldings while the fillies run in the Gimcrack Stakes (1000m).

The nine-race program starts at 12.20pm (AEST). The track was rated a good (4) at acceptance time while the rail will be in the true position.

The Bureau of Meteorology forecast for Sydney for the rest of the week is:

Wednesday: Partly cloudy. Max 25.
Thursday: Partly cloudy. Max 27.
Friday: Sunny. Max 26.
