Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for January 27.
Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Gosford, Pakenham, Rockhampton and Geraldton.
GOSFORD: RACE 7 @ 4:55 PM
TWITCH (6) tried to lead all the way last time out in town but just ran out of puff late. Has a handy record over this track and trip with a win and a second from just two outings and will be at peak fitness now fourth-up from the spell. Should be right there at the business end. The well-related RETRIEVAL (1) is drawn to get the run of the race from the inside alley and looks a top-three contender if he brings his best. ADAMAS PRINCE (2) has placed first-up before and can run a race while fresh. ZETARITA (7) has won second-up in the past and can earn a cheque. RAHNI FACTOR (9) next best.
SELECTIONS: Twitch to win.

PAKENHAM: RACE 3 @ 6:45 PM
EBONY KING (3) tried bravely at Sandown last time when hitting the line well. That performance showed a win is near and he looks ideally placed over the extra ground. Should go close. IRISH EXCHANGE (6) has only had the two runs and has caught the eye on each occasion. Suited by the rise in trip here. Should make a bold bid. THE PSYCHOLOGIST (9) has finished in the money at past three runs at this trip. Bigger track here is likely to assist. Has to be respected. CHATEAU NUE (1) is a gelding by Toronado out of Beltija stepping out on debut for the Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr stable. Is sure to be well educated for debut outing. Check the market.
SELECTIONS: Back Ebony King to win.
ROCKHAMPTON: RACE 8 @ 4:50 PM
BOLD AND LUCY (8) was plain in stronger her two starts last preparation. Her figures stack right up and she's looked the part in her two lead-up trials. Is in well with the 3kg claim and expect a bold return. TEELING (4) resumes for a hot barn coming off the deserved Maiden win. Can come back further improved and Stanley sticks from the recent trial warmer. The yard is flying and expect the gelding to go well. TRIPTONIC (5) switched yards and looked in need of the run here. Was only beaten 1.1L at Ipswich prior and with a key jockey switch to Wiggins can come hard. DEEP BREATH (1) placed first-up and will be better for it. Needs a good ride from the awkward gate and note Stanley gets off.
SELECTIONS: Bold And Lucy if the money comes.
