Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on October 23.
Five TAB meetings are held across Australia on this Wednesday at Warwick Farm, Geelong, Doomben, Ascot & Strathalbyn.
Geelong: Race 9 @ 5:20pm
Exalted Lauretta, Dismayed and Sophia's Choice will all race handy. LIVING THE DREAM (3) hit the line well resuming and then delivered an impressive Maiden win. He's the one to beat building on that. SOPHIA'S CHOICE (11) won the Maiden comfortably first up and will use the low draw. She gets the chance to repeat. SPARTAN FLAME (2) will be better for the first up placings and has more to give. He's a hope along with the stablemates ALMIGHTY GOLD (4) and MISS FIVE HUNDRED (5). SELECTIONS: #3 Living The Dream can go on with it.

Strathalbyn: Race 4 @ 3:00pm
Not clear-cut who leads. CAZABILLIE (7) looks promising and has trialled-up for the resumption. Ran her best figure two-back winning the Maiden by a space at Ballarat and expect her to be ready for the sharp yard and go close. AMBIDAZZLE (5) resumes and won here four back on debut, and then built on that in stronger than this. She looked sharp in a recent trial and the blinkers go on first time. MAGESTIC DIVA (9) races handy and deserved the Maiden win 5 days ago. Gets the claim and a repeat wouldn’t totally surprise. Keep ROCK HARBOUR (3) safe resuming. SELECTIONS: Looks a good stepping-off-point for #7 Cazabillie.
Warwick Farm: Race 4 @ 3:50pm
Mile event with not a lot of obvious early speed. COSTAS (8) resumed with a sixth behind Julian Rock. Was solid to the line late in what looks the key form line brought to this event by some way. Now meets a rival he faces again here in Soldier Of Love. SOLDIER OF LOVE (5) is a dual acceptor however has already been scratched from Race 6 to contest this event. Believe it is the right move. Was finding the line well first up behind Julian Rock on the Kensington. Will be fitter for the run and better suited out to the mile. TRICKY GAL (1) is also down to contest the prior event. Will be competitive whichever direction connections elect to head. BAANONE (6) has improved with each run this campaign. Deserves his chance at this level and is a strong Plan B for the Bjorn Baker stable behind Soldier Of Love. MISS REDOBLE (3) next elect.SELECTIONS: Costas for the win.
Doomben: Race 4 @ 4:10pm AEDT
Shauquin and Bolero King from opposite sides of the draw will vie for early supremacy. POWERLINE (2) wound up nicely but was never a threat when 4th at Ballina last start over 1300m. Evergreen gelding who drops 5kgs today. Suited by the small field so expect him to be finishing over the top of these. SHAUQUIN (3) is a model of consistency. Led and looked home only to be bloused late over 1400m at the Gold Coast last time out. Has enjoyed a 39-day let-up since that hitout - expecting a very sharp performance while fresh. RUBY GURU (4) is in the mix first up from a 130-day spell. In the top-three at four of her six fresh runs in the past. Has the ability to test this field. CHIEF IN COMMAND (6) closed well over this distance at Wyong recently. Hasn't won in ages but this looks a nice third up assignment. SELECTIONS: #2 Powerline each-way at juicy odds might be the smart option.
