Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for October 1.
Wyong: Race 7 @ 4.45pm
Handy race this. BETHENCOURT (1) created a strong impression winning on debut at Newcastle and was immediately spelled. Resumed a raging favourite at Kembla Grange a fortnight ago and he just couldn't get past Patrolling. Strips fitter and has the home track advantage. Could jump onto the back of Commanding Missile from the wide alley and be given the perfect cart into the race. CHANTING (2) has the runs on the board. Midfield in a much better race last time out. Terrific here on Cup day and will benefit from the strong speed upfront. BLAZING MAC (9) has some claims off a last-start win. SELECTION: #1 Bethencourt for the win.

Geelong: Race 4 @ 3.00pm
Strong early tempo with Johnny Chutzpah and Midnight Rambler likely pacesetters. TRAIL BLAZER (10) powered home her to just miss on debut and then was a well-bet favourite lifting to 1500m and things didn't work out in a strong form race. Gets the blinkers first time and is a promising galloper who will take beating with Zahra sticking. JOHNNY CHUTZPAH (5) peaks off the three near-misses and the on-pacer draws to advantage. Gets the winkers first time and is right in it. INKERMAN ROAD (4) was just beaten here coming back to a good track and rates strongly off that. Has been gelded since and is a player with a good ride. MIDNIGHT RAMBLER (7) needed it first-up and gets the blinkers first time and the key booking of Oliver. Will have come on and keep safe. SELECTION: A Heavy 10 and the meeting has been gutted by scratchings. #10 Trail Blazer just needs to manage the deep track to take this out.
Yeppoon: Race 7 @ 4.25pm
Abundant early pace with Allround Glory, Ararrac and Frugal prominent. FRUGAL (4) led and won here this grade 18 days ago running along. That reads very well for this and he can lead them a merry chase again. BOLD XAVVI (2) was out-graded at the Gold Coast but was good placing this grade prior and drawn to advantage he can bounce back into the finish. ALLROUND GLORY (1) resumes for the new yard owning two big trial wins this track. He goes fresh and has to be kept very safe in-well with the 3kg claim. CASINO THOUGHTS (3) comes back to a shorter sprint and won't be far away freshened. SELECTION: #4 Frugal rates to win again.
