Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for June 22.
Scone: Race 5 @ 2.25pm
Low-flying in this with Atkinson and Mary Magpie locking horns. HALCYON HOUSE (1) returned from a short spell with a handy 3rd to the promising Melik over 1100m at this track last start. Genuine gelding who was beaten a lip in a 900m race here last prep. Has raced twice on rain-affected ground and performed very well, including a 3-length maiden win over 1100m at Armidale. Winning chance after getting the dream run behind a hot tempo. ATKINSON (2) led all the way to win with a little bit in hand on debut over 803m at Coffs Harbour a month ago. Kept fresh and is sure to prove tough to run down. DISOBEDIENT (3) resumes from a four-month spell. Won a recent trial here so looks ready for a bright return. SKARA BRAE (4) tackled a moderate maiden field last start at Wellington and got the job done. Each-way claims against far stiffer opposition today. SELECTION: Very keen to be with #1 Halcyon House.

Swan Hill: Race 9 @ 4:30pm
Wasabi can lead and California Sunset won't be far away. WASABI (8) is fast and has placed the last three outings. Comes back in grade and keeps the handy 2kg claim. She's genuine and looks the one to beat. PRISTINE IMAGE (7) resumed on the heavy off much better city races and ran out of puff racing handy. He has plenty up the sleeve and is feared on dryer for the form yard. CALIFORNIA SUNSET (5) led and impressed winning the Maiden comfortably first-up. After that he was knocked over late at this level on the synthetic. Keeps the claim and has the speed to manage the wide gate. He's a serious player. CROWNED LIZZIE (9) has been racing in much stronger and can't be discounted with the handy claim. SELECTION: #8 Wasabi looks a solid bet at the each way quote. Will get all the favours.
Kilcoy: Race 7 @ 4:34pm
A lack of early speed over the 1900m and it might come from some of the wider drawn. FRASCATI MISS (12) is one that can push forward and was just nudged out at Toowoomba 17 days ago following the Ipswich placing. She will manage the tricky gate and is ready to win for the Nolen yard. PARIS CRYSTAL (10) just missed at Ipswich and then didn't have the best of it at Doomben at better level than this. She will need a good ride, but will run it right out. MOSS GO NOW (4) won this trip and level here two weeks ago coming home hard. Draws to get a soft run and has to be considered. SUCH A DRAMA QUEEN (11) is an improver and won't be far away. SELECTION: A couple of shorties should win early in the program. Good betting races around those. #12 Frascati Miss comes to peak and is the one to beat in Race 7.
