Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on September 17.
Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Newcastle, Eagle Farm, Geelong and Queanbeyan.
NEWCASTLE: RACE 2 @ 1:40 PM
Connections had a high enough opinion of YEARNING (1) that they had a throw at the Group 2 stumps last time out where she wasn't disgraced beaten just over two lengths. Will find this much easier and strips fitter third-up from the spell. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside stall and looks one of the better bets of the day. LEFT REELING (5) is unlucky to still be a maiden placing in all three starts including two close-up seconds at Goulburn. Collett has been in the irons for the past two outings and sticks. Looks a key player. Former Victorian CHARITY SPIRIT (4) is having her first run for the new stable and form she showed last campaign is good enough to be in the mix here. DANZETTE (9) placed over this track and trip last time out and can earn a cheque. KAKARIKI (2) cannot be ignored from the Waller barn.
SELECTIONS: Yearning to win.
As a FREE Racing and Sports offer, below is the Newcastle Computer Card.
EAGLE FARM: RACE 2 @ 1:07 PM
COSMIC GOSSIP (4) bounced back to form last time out and can go right on with it now. Gets 3kg off with the claim and rates the testing material. SPOKESMAN (3) was a touch disappointing last start but go on the good win here two starts back. In the mix. HALLOWED GIRL (2) is a winner over this trip and is a top-three contender. THE DARK (7) has a good record here with a win and four placings from eight starts and is one for the multiples. SPACE IS DEEP (6) is a former Waller runner and a watch on betting is advised.
SELECTIONS: Cosmic Gossip to win.
GEELONG: RACE 5 @ 3:30 PM
DUCHESS OF WINDSOR (9) is a Sydney galloper last seen 13 days ago beaten a half-length at Randwick this distance range. Drops in grade with McNeil booked and she looks to have an edge. NATIONAL GUARD (1) won this grade first-up further improved. Has a tough run and gets John Allen on today for Bates. Will be fitter and can make the finish. AEECEE DAME (10) was blocked for a run first-up in a strong form Maiden and then won the Maiden at Benalla at the mile. He has more up the sleeve and fitter the Waller galloper is a player. FABALOT (4) has strong figures over further. Gets Lane for the second-up run and will be sharper at this distance.
SELECTIONS: Backing Duchess Of Windsor.
QUEANBEYAN: RACE 5 @ 3:10 PM
PROPOSE A TOAST (7) resumed for the new barn with a near-miss on the Canberra synthetic. He then improved again beaten a nose at Kembla Grange from the front over 1400m. Has to come back 200m but they will run along. He brings the best last-start figure and has more up the sleeve. Sits down in the weights and the fact that he was formerly trained on this tricky circuit is a plus. DELACOUR (3) is speedy and brings a win and placing at this level. Was beaten by a good one here the latest and is worth another chance reaching peak fitness. CYBORG (4) is a Norm Gardner stablemate who won in Wagga in Open grade before being beaten 1.5L at Moruya at the same level. Gets in well with the 2kg claim and is also a winning hope. JAWWAAL (1) had no luck resuming on the Randwick (K). He placed at Flemington 70 prior seeking the hat-trick. Has placed 4/4 second-up and the speed-bred gelding is sure to be fancied.
SELECTIONS: With Propose A Toast in a competitive Federal.
QUEANBEYAN: RACE 6 @ 3:45 PM
SUPERTANKER (1) has switched from the Widdup to the Pepper yard and is on a 38 day turnaround. She ran her best race the latest when leading beaten 1.8L at Hawkesbury. She can control the race from the rail and gets the handy 2kg claim for an in-form apprentice. The blinkers go on again and she should be winning. BIG STEVE (2) resumed with the comfortable Maiden win at Moruya and then wasn't beaten far at the same venue. Fitter now and he has more to give. Has placed here and can make the quinella. BRING IT BELLA (8) is a local who had support resuming on the Canberra synthetic and did nothing. She's been freshened and would be right in the finish at best. Draws out but has to be considered. SUPER RIFF (5) resumes and has a rap early on. Keep a close on on the late betting. LENNY'S LAD (4) will sit handy and has the 2kg claim. He continues to race well and won't be far away.
SELECTIONS: Keen on Supertanker.
