Easily one of my favourite days of the year with racing returning to headquarters for Derby Day (The Championships: Day 1).

Talented filly Niedorp looks well-placed to make a winning return at Doomben on Saturday.

The Shane Baertschiger trained Star Of Jupiter went down first up, but lost no admirers and is worth sticking with at Kranji on Friday night.

Racing returns to Caulfield and it's a deep card full of big and competitive fields.
