Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for August 10.
Pakenham Synthetic: Race 4 @ 2:30pm
There's good early pace with Get Around Him a likely leader crossing over. INTHELAPOFTHEGODS (4) missed a lip here resuming at monster odds and then showed it was no fluke with the placing this venue after. He will be fitter and looks suited out to 1400m. He gets a soft run and the scratchings leave him the one to beat. LYSANDRA (6) is fast and will use the rail. She's disappointed the two runs back but will be fitter and expect her to improve sharply. MILTON PARK (13) was unlucky resuming at big odds and is much improved. He's a chance building on that and draws well his first time the synthetic. ADVENTURE TRIP (8) debuts and profiles well. The colt has to manage a wide gate, but Egan is booked and keep a close eye on the late market. SELECTION: #4 Inthelapofthegods will be fitter and gets all the favours.

Port Macquarie: Race 4 @ 1:35pm
Royal Charge can lead from the rail and the field should run along okay. HIGHBURY (6) just missed twice at the provincials and then at Grafton before being caught wide on the heavy at Taree. The well-bred gelding will box-seat from the low gate and rates the one to beat on the bounce. ROYAL CHARGE (11) peaks and has just found one better the last two at Taree. He will control the race from the low gate and is clearly the danger. ANOTHER OPTION (1) has been knocking on the door and will get every chance getting a soft run from the ace. STEALTH APPROACH (9) is a former Victorian resuming for the Jarvis yard with McGuren booked. The market will tell with him. SELECTION: #6 Highbury looks good value at the current each way quote to beat the favourite.
