Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on September 22.
Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Gosford, Flemington, Doomben, Belmont Park, Oakbank.
GOSFORD: RACE 7 @ 4:55 PM
ENFLEURAGE (4) has a solid record over this sprint trip with two wins and two placings from six outings and will strip fitter third-up from the spell. Looks one of the prime contenders. ASHEMA (11) resumes here and spent the majority of her last campaign racing in Group and Listed company. In the mix while fresh. ON THE LEAD (5) has won second-up before and can earn a cheque. BELLUCI BABE (2) has only missed a drum once in ten starts and is one for the multiples. THUDSON (9) has a handy first-up record with two wins and a second from four outings and can feature prominantly. SELECTIONS: Enfleurage to win.
As a FREE Racing and Sports offer, below is the Gosford Computer Card.
FLEMINGTON: RACE 7 @ 4:30 PM
MR BRIGHTSIDE (3) is the one to beat. Stringing together wins and he is doing it with good ratings to back the wins up. Have to think there is still more to come from him but he faces a genuine threat in ALCYONE (12) who closed strongly to win fresh at Sandown. Was off a long break there and given time to come on for that. Trip can suit now and his late work at Sandown points to him being ready to rip out a big new peak. The Maher/Eustace pair, SEINERS EXPRESS (8) and NIKAU SPUR (4), also come here a month between runs. Both impressing of late and both land in the right sort of race here. Each way claims.
SELECTIONS: Can back Alcyone to knock off Mr Brightside.
DOOMBEN: RACE 4 @ 3:28 PM
VOLUNTEER (10) resumes for the Waller barn and showed plenty the first campaign. He won the recent Gold Coast trial by a space and a top hoop is booked. Will have come on and should take beating despite the sticky gate. BIG MUSKIE (11) is in the premier yard and was just beaten on debut. He looks promising and fitter can prove a threat. REGAL EDITION (8) has his third start and will be better again. Draws low, but note Orman gets off to ride Volunteer. DAY DAY SUPREME (2) will be better for the debut run and may be the galloper to fill out the first-four.
SELECTIONS: Backing Volunteer.
BELMONT PARK: RACE 7 @ 4:45 PM
CELEBRITY WITNESS (6) runs along and is knocking on the door. Go on the lip defeat at Northam two-back and Pike's booking is a decent push. She's the one to beat racing at peak. HE'S ALL MIGHTY (3) didn't get into it here the latest but impressed just beaten at Kalgoorlie prior. In good hands and fitter the longer trip should suit. SALON DU CHEVAL (1) has been knocking on the door at this level and had a tough run the latest. Is back 300m but the 3kg claim brings him into it. DIFFERENTIATOR (7) was just beaten here at the mile in a bit easier. Draws out but won't be far away.
SELECTIONS: Backing Celebrity Witness.
OAKBANK: RACE 6 @ 4:15 PM
MASARU WARRIOR (2) has just missed the last three this distance range and was favourite at The Bridge the latest. He can control the race and win with Holder replacing the 3kg apprentice. BRIABELLA (5) has raced at Group level and resumed with a solid effort when unfancied. She is much better suited at this distance and should get the run of the race. Easily good enough at best. AMERICAN TROUBLE (3) won the Maiden by a space at The Bridge and prepared to forgive the flop after at Penola. He's speedy and fitter expect a much better effort at each way odds. TIZA (8) won the 52 here this trip and it was a gutsy effort. Draws wide but has to be considered again.
SELECTIONS: With Masaru Warrior.
