Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at TAB meetings for January 12.
Sunshine: Coast Race 5 @ 5.09pm (AEDT)
Flatter from a wide gate will fly the lids and lead at a good clip. MISSIE ARCHER (8) has returned in great order this prep. Won a hot form race first up over 1000m here then just missed the bob over the same course and distance last time. Perfectly drawn and the step up to 1200m comes at the right time. FLATTER (12) went fast in front and kept going for a dogged maiden win over this trip at Doomben a month ago. Promising filly who is eligible for easier races but has the ability to be very competitive. KENTFORD (2) raced handy and kept finding when a close 2nd at Kilcoy recently over this journey. Each-way chance again from a favourable draw. BRIDGET'S DIARY (5) got up in the last few bounds when resuming over 1100m at Warwick last start. In the mix again. HARD YAGA (1) has won 2/5 at the trip. Must go in the numbers. SELECTION: Keen on #8 Missie Archer.

Port Lincoln: Race 3 @ 2.30pm (AEDT)
No obvious leader engaged but a few like to race handy so the pace should be solid. TAJAVEDO (2) recorded his fifth minor placing in 11 starts when beaten a neck over 1390m at this track last start. Back in trip but the blinkers going on might be just what is needed to give him that extra edge. ALL THINGS NICE (6) put the writing on the wall last time out when she worked home well to get up for 3rd over 1000m at this venue. Very fit after two runs back and the extra furlong is timely. ANTRIM'S SECRET (12) never had a proper crack at them over this trip at Strathalbyn recently so forgive the run. Drawn well and is ready to peak third up. IMBOSSIBLE (9) is progressing at each appearance - a top-three finish is on the cards. ULTIMATE VIEW (3) strips fitter and isn't hopeless. SELECTION: Keen on #2 Tajavedo with blinkers on in a thin maiden.
Nowra: Race 5 @ 4.10pm
LADY KIRKHAM (6) dove through and was unlucky not to win at her most recent start. Progressing the right way. Will land in the perfect spot from the rails draw and should get her chance. DANNEVIRKE LAD (7) won well at Bathurst last start. Stable ticking over well and he'll only be suited getting to the mile. ROSEIRRO (5) with winning form can't be overlooked. SHAKE ON IT (4) next best. SELECTION: #6 Lady Kirkham straight out.
