Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on June 23.
Four TAB meetings are held across Australia on this Tuesday at Hawkesbury, Port Macquarie, Ballarat & Rockhampton.
Hawkesbury: Race 6 @ 3:10pm
Caribbean Gold will work forward to lead from Snitzify and Mission Dream at a good clip. MISSION DREAM (4) tackled the mile for the first time last start and boxed on well to finish a close 3rd at Newcastle after racing in the leading pair for much of the journey. Better for that hitout and looks very nicely placed with the claim. FOXBOROUGH (1) worked home well to finish 3rd over the mile at Warwick Farm last time out but was never a winning chance. Always a threat at this trip and back at provincial level is a major player. SNITZIFY (2) raced on the speed but lacked a turn of foot when it mattered and missed a placing over 1350m at Wyong recently. Promising colt who is looking for the mile now. BROADSIDE ARMOUR (3) was too bad to be true last start at the Farm - worth another chance. CUBIX (5) is a model of consistency and must be considered. SELECTIONS: Expecting #4 Mission Dream to peak today.

Rockhampton: Race 3 @ 12:15pm
Brook's Girl can run them along. ACCELERANT (1) is a former Victorian who was heavily-backed beaten 2L here for the new yard. Has placed 6/8 and gets some gear tweaks today. He will ride the speed from the low draw and clearly rates to win. BROOK'S GIRL (6) was much better when placing here 10 days ago and can make the finish with a good ride from the tricky gate. EVRYNOW'N'THEN (7) resumes for the new yard (Coome) and is better than the formline suggests. Draws well and the high stable-striker is booked. Keep her very safe. Ditto BLAME IT ON PARIS (5), who is a former NSW galloper who hasn't raced for more than three years. She has ability and owns a trial win. Needs a good ride from the carpark all the same. SELECTIONS: #1 Accelerant should have these covered. Will look to boost the odds adding an all-up into #6 Legal Ties in Race 10.
Ballarat Synthetic: Race 7 @ 3:30pm
Not a huge amount of early pace on paper - Aleda from a wide gate might work across and take it up. ALEDA (1) shared the lead into the straight but the run peaked at the 100m mark and she tired to miss a place over this trip at Wangaratta last time out. Honest filly who will be hard to catch dropping back in grade. John Allen replacing an apprentice is an important engagement. SUPER HUSSEY (2) showed pace but couldn't quicken over 1200m at this track last start. Form is far better over this trip so expect her to turn in a much better performance. PARIS GEM (10) was a bit disappointing over this trip at Pakenham synthetic recently after looking to have every chance. Placed here the run before so worth forgiving. IRUBI (3) ran a much better race last start when second up from a spell. Major player with further improvement anticipated. LA BELVA (4) has done nothing in two runs this prep but that is not out of the ordinary. Will be more of a threat with added fitness today. SELECTIONS: #1 Aleda brings the right form to the table.
Port Macquarie: Race 7 @ 4:10pm
There are on-pacers drawn across the barriers that are capable of pushing on to lead. TWO UP (4) won the Maiden at Scone and then missed a lip resuming at the same venue in the CL1. Followed that with a solid effort at Newcastle in better than this. Raced well here on debut on a heavy track and can win today with Thompson riding the speed from the rail. WAR CAT (6) has just missed the last two at Taree and deserves the win. Runs along and he's well up to this with the blinkers coming off. ILLECEBROUS (8) did about what expect resuming for Kris Lees and the filly can make quick improvement. She would go close at best. BLEVIO (7) can improve third-up. SELECTIONS: Expecting #7 Two Up to have an edge.
