Racing and Sports highlight our standout plays for Australian TAB meetings on August 23.
Australian thoroughbred Tab meetings are today held at Pakenham Synthetic, Lismore and Bathurst.
PAKENHAM SYNTHETIC: RACE 8 @ 4:30 PM
PEPPER'S GHOST (4) peaks off stronger races and didn't have the best of it at Sandown-Lakeside the latest. Just missed there prior and gets a low barrier today. The one they have to beat. DANALI (8) won the Maiden by 4.3L on the Ballarat synthetic and will be in the finish holding that level of form. JUST WISHING (7) led and won here this grade and trip and has more to offer. She may come over and control the race and take pegging back. FULL OF THEORIES (3) has been knocking on the door and the on-pacer can't be ruled out.
SELECTIONS: Backing Pepper's Ghost to win.
As a FREE Racing and Sports offer, below is the Pakenham Synthetic Computer Card.
LISMORE: RACE 3 @ 2:25 PM
EXHIBITOR (5) is busting to win and she was heavily-bet here the latest beaten a half-length. Keeps a leading hoop and she should have these covered back to a sprint. MCGRATH (3) led and was beaten a length at Casino and that was her best effort since coming up from Victoria. She has more up the sleeve and has the speed to manage the sticky gate. HUMANITARIAN (2) is having his third start since switching from a Sydney yard and should be ready to show something. The Kembla Grange form would have him in the finish. MORE THAN BUTTONS (8) presents third-up off solid placings on a 7-day return. She won't be far away.
SELECTIONS: Backing Exhibitor to win.
