Eleven TAB meetings are held across Australia on this Friday at Canterbury, Murwillumbah, Scone, Warren, Moe, Moonee Valley, Ipswich, Sunshine Coast, Albany, Morphettville and Hobart.
Canterbury: Race 6 @ 8:45pm
Star Of O'Reilly and Zarhron prominent. LEGISLATION was solid first up at Canterbury. Settled back and closed off well into third. Was gelded in his latest spell after a 2YO season which didn't quite deliver. Could become a racehorse now. TIME OUT OF MIND was wide throughout at Kembla Grange last start. The run prior was only narrowly beaten when second as favourite on the Kensington. STAR OF O'REILLY next elect off a clinical debut win. SELECTIONS: Interested in #5 Legislation from #9 and #13.

Scone: Race 2 @ 2:00pm
Sepae should take it up. Good old fashioned open sprint here. CLIPPER is most interesting. Previously with Matt Dale this mare has always had good ability. Never started longer than $6 in the market and considering she's raced at Moonee Valley/Caulfield and Randwick its a fair indication to her talent. Now finds herself in the hands of the astute Angela Davies yard. Takes her place off one trial and can open her account with a win. STAR CROSSED gave strong chase but couldn't reel in the winner at Canterbury a fortnight ago. Handy horse on his day and second-up is bound to run well. PROFESSOR MARX is always around the mark. Draws inside and should be kept safe. SELECTIONS: Clipper for the win.
Murwillumbah: Race 5 @ 3:28pm
Plenty of speed engaged. TAPA had to work getting across and that left her exposed late at Kilcoy on resumption. Noticeably fitter and is worth another chance. Handy overall record and the slightly softer footing plays into her hands. Hard to beat. USURP is primed to go after the two runs back. Prepped up well off one trial and should be kept safe. WESTON is a handy horse when right. Haven't seen the best of him in some time now. Made to win a trial here recently and should be kept under firm notice.SELECTIONS: Tapa for the win.
Hobart: Race 6 @ 4:34pm
Galeocerdo, Gee Gees Jet and Apriano the pacesetters. GEE GEE LANETT recorded her second piece of black type when second in the Newmarket Handicap behind I'm Wesley last start. Drops sharply in grade on that outing into a race which she is pitchforked in down on the minimum. GEE GEE DOUBLE DEE also comes out of the Newmarket Handicap where she ran ninth. Now has to meet Gee Gee Lanett 3kg worse at the weights for being beaten more than two lengths by her. The Newmarket is clearly the dominant form line brought into this. DERASA the other player. SELECTIONS: Can't go past #4 Gee Gee Lanett from #3 and #6.
Ipswich: Race 6 @ 5.07pm (AEDT)
THE ADMINISTRATOR led and boxed on well for a close second last start. Returns to a course where he has a win and a placing from two visits and should be ready to show his best third up. SUPERSONIC BOOM showed improvement when runner up at Toowoomba last start. Could be returning to his best and gets the favours from the inside stall. SHADYVALE STAR missed by a nose last start after a resuming win. Can go on with it. SELECTIONS: #2 The Administrator to peak and win third up from #4 and #7.
Warren: Race 6 @ 6:34pm
Raheen Lady likes to roll forward. RAHEEN LADY maps to get every chance. Overpowered late in the piece at Narromine last start. Form over this distance is superior and she'll take plenty of catching. BEE DOUBLE BEE races on the quick back-up. Capable with the right run as was the case three back at Dubbo. Claim suits and he'll be running on. FOURTH PROTOCOL has a large impost but is too consistent to leave out. SELECTIONS: Raheen Lady straight out.
Moe: Race 8 @ 6:50pm
ARROCHAR won a trial following the two flops and followed that with a near miss at Cranbourne in a 64. He can race handy and gets the chance to win in this grade. BLUES YOUR BALL resumes and is also speedy. He’s a FU winner but needs a good ride. CAMILA LUCINDA will cross to the speed as well and resumes back in grade. Gets the claim and expect her to go well. SELECTIONS: # 1 Arrochar only has to run up to the latest to win.
Moonee Valley: Race 3 @ 7:30pm
Speed anticipated from Bad Wolf, Macrobius and Trigger Point. BAD WOLF won well at Cranbourne two back, before confirming that level of performance last start when a close second at this C&D. Measures right up off the back of that and only looks to repeat to be right in the finish again. DOUBLE YOU TEE did a good job to win at Kilmore last start and while this is harder, he rates well from the good draw and has to be respected. THE PASSAGE next best racing second up. SELECTIONS: Bad Wolf gets the nod.
Morphettville: Race 7 @ 7.40pm (AEDT)
TIARA STAR steps out for a new yard after racing in Melbourne at the end of last preparation. Fitter for a recent trial and has won fresh before. Gets Kah on and can make a winning return. BRIMARVI VEHERO showed promise at his maiden campaign and went to the paddock off a Murray Bridge win. Could go through his grades this time in. MISS LABELLE was only beaten 1.2L on the Parks track last time and gets blinkers on. SILENT ICE has a good fresh record. Include. SELECTIONS: Tiara Star to win first up with Kah aboard from #3, # 1 and #9.
Sunshine Coast: Race 7 @ 10.25pm (AEDT)
WIRED is racing well this campaign with top-two finishes at all three runs. Won at this course before a close second last time. The step up in distance should suit. Looks hard to topple. IRON CRAFT was slow out last time and did well to only be beaten 2.1L. Had been runner up at his other two runs this campaign. Drawn to feature. VIENNA MOON showed good improvement when only beaten a nose last time. Has good records at the course and the distance. SELECTIONS: Backing the in-form #1 The Wired for the win from #6 and 10.
