Success in the Australian Guineas with immediate effect raises the prospects of a trip to Sydney Racing Tips Autumn Carnival for the Randwick Guineas, Rosehill Guineas or the Australian Derby. it is a time honoured event over the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival and the title is highly sought after.

The CS Hayes Stakes is the favoured form race to look to when assessing the chances of the Australian Guineas runners. Tagaloa was the 2021 winner and lines up as fav here closely followed by second placegetter Aysar, also strongly in betting for the Guineas.
