Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays at Australian TAB meetings for July 01.

Australian thoroughbred TAB meetings are today held at Hawkesbury, Bendigo, Northam and Kilcoy.    

HAWKESBURY: RACE 3 @ 1:25 PM

SYRACUSE (8) resumes here and will find this much easier than metropolitan efforts last campaign. Tuned up for this with a handy fourth in a Randwick trial and has a bit of class on this field. The one to beat. WILLIAMS BAY (9) didn't do much wrong in her first preparation placing at both Scone and Gosford. Van Overmeire was in the saddle for both those placings and sticks. Looks a genuine contender. MISHKA MAGIC (5) had only one start last preparation in a much harder Kensington affair. Had a couple of trials to rev up for this and gets Berry on her back. In the mix fresh. THE MAXINATOR (2) has looked very good in recent trials and Parr sticks. Pay to keep very safe. The well-related RUPERTAAR (7) is a massive watch after winning a recent Rosehill trial by over five lengths. Keep a close eye on betting.
SELECTIONS: Syracuse to win.

BENDIGO: RACE 5 @ 3:00 PM

HOSIER (2) was in a different class with an impressive win in maiden company at Australian debut. Harder test this time but will again relish the big track at Bendigo and should be hard to beat. CABINHO (3) has filled the runner-up spot at past two starts. Racing well and looks the main danger to Hosier. SPIRIT OF GOLD (7) has not been racing as well in past couple after good Australian debut three runs back. Capable of better so don't dismiss. SIMON SAYS (8) has filled the minor money at past couple of starts and is worthy of some thought here.
SELECTIONS: Back Hosier to win.

KILCOY: RACE 8 @ 4:04 PM

REACHFORTHESTARS (6) has been busting to win and finds a bit easier. Just missed here three-back and a winning rider (Orman) is reunited. Draws to advantage and will take beating over the longer sprint. HIDDEN SECRET (5) is fast and seeks the hat-trick third-up. It was comfortable here the latest and the improver is feared. JETT AUSTIN (2) resumes and is likely to have come on. Has placed fresh and gets a low gate. A betting watch. INDUCEMENT (11) was much better just beaten behind Hidden Secret but has to (again) manage a wide gate.
SELECTIONS: Leaning to Reachforthestars.
