Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on September 25
Six TAB meetings are held across Australia on this Friday at Goulburn, Scone, Benalla, Moonee Valley (night), Cairns & Sunshine Coast (night).
Scone: Race 6 @ 4:05pm
Solid tempo with several going forward but expecting Reveal The Magic to find the lead. ARISTOGRATS (3) is now with the Northam stable (Ex G.Hickman). Bound to find this much easier than the city level he contested for majority of last campaign. Has got within a head of Yonkers one day. Liked his trial leading in to this and with some gear changes and a change of scenery expect him to be hard to beat. MORE SUNDAYS (6) is superbly bred. Sam Kavanough now has his hands on him. Market SP in better races down South suggest he should be respected in this line-up. FESTIVAL OF LIGHT (1) has a sharp overall record and is five from seven at the distance. Claim helps and if the speed is on they'll know he's in the race. STAR RAIDER (9) and IBINI (4) for the exotics. SELECTIONS: Aristograts for the win.

Benalla: Race 3 @ 2:30pm
Rock The Sea and Mythical Goddess expected to lead a strong gallop. ROCK THE SEA (12) runs along and did enough on debut as favourite to say this is winnable with the extra fitness. She was a well-bet favourite in that and is sure to have come on for a sharp yard. STREETS OF SUEMORI (13) peaks and got closer the latest from the front. She can box-seat from the rail and is a chance finding her best. NEXT EDITION (7) resumed as a gelding and had no luck. Was expected to need it anyway and expect him to make quick improvement. IT'S WAR (20) resumes and will have come on. Watch the market with him now he's made the field. SELECTIONS: #12 Rock The Sea is sure to take passing.
Cairns: Race 5 @ 3:35pm
Genuine tempo with Hemsted leading the way over Mystic Eyes. AROHA TE MANA (5) won as expected resuming and then got closer to his best Victorian figures placing as favourite. Gets the big weight dip in this grade and should take a stack of beating. SOLDATI (3) missed a lip in the same race making a ratings spike. He should use the rail today and won't be far away with the 2kg claim. HEMSTED (2) was good his first run since coming from NSW and then was caught wide against the above two. He's likely to improve. BORELLA (6) is busting to win and will get every chance from the low gate. SELECTIONS: #5 Aroha Te Mana will be short but is clearly the one to beat.
Moonee Valley: Race 1 @ 5:15pm
Strong early tempo with Free To Move pressing and the likes of Endanger and Saltpeter among those looking for handy spots. ENDANGER (7) bolted up on soft going on debut at Cranbourne over 1200m before being quickly put away. Returns for the spring with a strong profile for a top yard. Could easily be up to better races than this. RIVER TWAIN (3) broke through for his maiden success over 1221m at Geelong last time, scoring comfortably. He can measure up. EXTRA TIME (1) was well held over 1200m in the G2 Danehill Stakes at Flemington last time but given a chance back to much calmer waters now and sure to be popular. UNANIMOUS (5) ran well when close up over 1000m fresh at Sandown-Hillside. Good tempo can see him run on into the finish. SELECTIONS: Like the upside of Endanger.
Sunshine Coast: Race 5 @ 8:00pm
All Stars, Star Barista, Suzi Bel and Woodley's Gold to set the tempo. LADY BRAHMOS (7) copped a check and blundered on the turn then recovered and did her best work late when third in a Class 3 over 1350m at Doomben last start. Has raced through her grades impressively this prep, winning by panels at this track in a maiden first up then continuing to raise the bar. Down in grade and looks the winner. LUVACTION (8) was game in defeat when third over 1000m here first up from a 19-week spell. Yet to miss a top-three finish in three runs at today's journey. Strong each-way chance. WOODLEY'S GOLD (4) wasn't beaten far over 1000m at Eagle Farm last time when he didn't get a lot of room. Better placed over this trip and will be peaking now. CONCEALED DYNAMITE (5) saves her best for this circuit so she cannot be underestimated. SELECTIONS: #7 Lady Brahmos is pretty short but looks too good.
