Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on November 15.
Eight TAB meetings are held across Australia on this Friday at Ballina, Canterbury, Gundagai, Kyneton, Moonee Valley, Mackay, Geraldton & Port Lincoln.
Gundagai: Race 7 @ 4:55pm
Man Of Peace has the pace to lead from Loved One drawn inside. DON'T GIVE A DAMN (1) will find this a lot easier than his last two assignments. Led them into the straight in the Kosciusko before being overwhelmed to finish midfield. Took a sit last time and battled on fairly but didn't threaten in the Goulburn Cup over this trip. Very fit now after three runs back and has the quality to handle this field. VICEROY (3) took a while to get clear then closed well to grab 4th over 1200m at Gosford last time out. Will be hitting the line strongly again over the longer trip. LADY MIRONTON (9) ground out a tough win over this journey at Wagga recently. Very honest mare with a good record at seven furlongs. Cannot be left out. GENTLEMAN MAX (11) is racing well but is a place chance only as he is yet to win in 56 dry track runs. SELECTIONS: The class of #1 Don't Give A Damn to rise to the top.

Kyneton: Race 4 and 2:45pm
Adie can cross over and lead and they should run along okay. PUEBLO (6) will be better for the two runs back and is bred for this trip and further. She has more to give and is clearly the one to beat. ADIE (11) runs along and expect her to show more today up in trip for a leading barn. LEGLESS NICK (5) comes off the non-tabs but the form reads okay and he will get every chance box seating from the low gate. ROCKS FOR FREE (7) was good at the mile resuming and he will be around the mark holding that. SELECTIONS: #6 Pueblo can win this and go on.
Ballina: Race 8 @ 5:45pm
From a good gate Maleko should bound in front of Too Hard To Miss. MR PIQUET (4) made a late dive but just missed over 1500m at Kilcoy last start. That run followed a one-month let-up so he will strip fitter this time. Placed 1/1 at the mile and with blinkers back on today this looks his race to lose. TOO HARD TO MISS (13) has been just behind the placegetters at both runs this time in work in town. Untested at 1600m but in this company is sure to give a great sight. MALEKO (3) led until the last couple of bounds over 1700m at Grafton recently. Bold front runner who has won at the mile and will prove very hard to run down. MAQUINA VOLADORA (8) went very close in the Maleko race at Grafton last start. Fit mare with definite claims. SELECTIONS: Keen on #4 Mr Piquet in the last.
Moonee Valley Race 4 @ 8:00pm
There is early speed across the barriers and are number are capable of leading. DANE CLIPPER (10) won the Maiden on debut by a big space and then led again beaten 1.5L this grade at Flemington. Came here the latest in stronger and just missed the placings after a tough run from the wide gate. He peaks with the advantage of the rail and is sure to take beating. COSMIC RHAPSODY (1) seeks the hat-trick third-up and did it from the back the latest after being five wide at one stage. He will sit handier today and looks right in it. HELAVABEL (3) is still a Maiden but there was plenty of merit in the Mornington debut when he was heavily-supported. He will be very competitive. TITAN I AM (9) next. SELECTIONS: #10 Dane Clipper has more to offer and looks well set-up.
Canterbury Race 6 @ 8.45pm
Plenty of early pressure courtesy of Dorothy Of Oz. SPECIAL SNAP (7) has been just behind the placegetters at her last two runs, both in Saturday class races over 1400m. Her win and both placings have come at this evening's trip. Can box-seat from gate one and back in this company is ready to return to the winner's list. ALISON OF TUFFY (1) showed a nice turn of foot and put a gap on her rivals last time out over this distance at Kembla. Honest mare who can bring that form to town. DOROTHY OF OZ (9) returned from a 24-week spell with a tough all-the-way win over 1100m at Hawkesbury recently. Lightly raced filly with a bit of a future so could pay to follow in this tougher affair. INVINCIANO (3) was nailed on the line last start at Gosford. Strong each-way chance from a good draw. SELECTIONS: Keen on #7 Special Snap back in trip against midweek opposition.
