Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on March 3.
Four TAB meetings are held across Australia on this Tuesday at Kembla Grange, Grafton, Ballarat & Mackay.
Kembla Grange: Race 7 @ 5:30pm
Baracus goes fast and can cross from a middle draw to lead. SCICONIC (5) started in the red but only battled away into 3rd place over this distance at Newcastle last start. Won third up last prep over today's course and distance so worth another chance. STICK 'EM UP (9) drove hard through the line and was only half a length away when resuming over 1350m on the Beaumont track last time out. Tricky draw so probably goes back but can finish off powerfully at the end of a mile. BARACUS (1) made it two wins from three runs this prep when he led all the way and did it easily over 1400m at Canberra recently. On trial at this trip but with a soft lead could take some catching. ELISA CAROLINA (8) is a Kiwi raider fresh from a 31-day let-up. Won a maiden over this distance two runs back then failed in Stakes company. Hard to line up - respect any betting support. SELECTIONS: #5 Sciconic to bounce back and score - save on #8 Elisa Carolina at big odds.

Grafton: Race 5 @ 4:40pm
Maleko has good gate speed and should lead comfortably. RUMBERELLA (4) put the writing on the wall last start when he worked home powerfully to finish runner-up over 1420m at this circuit. Has placed 2/2 when third up and is perfectly placed out to the mile. SWEET WILLIAM (11) made a return to form when he hit the line with gusto but just missed out over the mile at Ballina last time out. Still a maiden but ready to run another big race with the blinkers back on. The lightly raced ZELLYMAY (10) returned from a 19-week spell and caught the eye late when 3rd over 1420m here recently. Very hard to stop over an extra furlong today. ATYAAF (1) has placed at both runs this prep and looks ideally placed out to the mile now. SELECTIONS: This looks ideal for #4 Rumberella.
Ballarat: Race 8 @ 5:00pm
Not sure who makes the pace but the large field should run along okay. DOROZA (3) has been just missing in stronger and looks well-placed today with Lloyd’s 3kg claim. Hasn’t won for a while but this is his chance. ROMAIYA (5) just missed the latest and had no luck at all. Peaks now and the 3kg claim brings him right into it. HUGHES THE BOSS (4) won the Maiden by 4L as favourite at the mile and the longer trip should suit. The claimer needs some luck pushing forward. SANCTUAIRE (14) is racing well and also looks a chance. SELECTIONS: #3 DOROZA sets-up well and we may get each way neared post time.
Mackay: Race 6 @ 5:40pm
Ta Chanson and Bondage can run them along. TA CHANSON (3) ran his best race winning easily here 10 days ago and that’s the standout figure for this. He should push forward okay and slightly shorter won’t bother. BONDAGE (6) brought a string of wins to stronger grade the last two and forget the latest. Draws to advantage and looks right in it. GRAND DE LAGO (4) ran favourite in the BM65 up in trip and had excuses. Draws well and a bounce wouldn't surprise in this company. HAZAR (1) was okay missing the hat-trick first up and expect quick improvement. SELECTIONS: #3 Ta Chanson looks the bet at the each way quote.
